Days after being expelled from the Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F), estranged leaders have announced to separate their party faction from the one led by Maulana Fazlur Rehman. The JUI-F disciplinary committee took action against Maulana Muhammad Khan Sherani, Hafiz Hussain Ahmed, Maulana Gul Naseeb Khan and Maulana Shuja-ul-Mulk. Addressing a news conference along with other senior leaders in Islamabad on Tuesday, Maulana Sherani said they inherited Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (JUI) from their “great leaders” and it was Fazl who later established separate faction – JUI-F – in his own name. Talking to reporters on December 22, Sherani also declared the PDM an “unnatural alliance that would soon break up because it has no ideology”. Each party in the opposition alliance has its own set of interests,” he had said.
