ISLAMABAD: Jamiat Ulema-i-Islam-F, the third largest party in the Balochistan Assembly after the PML-Q and PPP, has offered its unconditional support for the ruling coalition to elect a new chief minister.
The JUI-F has urged coalition partners to nominate a new chief minister or let Maulana Fazlur Rehman make a choice to enable Balochistan to move ahead with other provinces in democratic transition.
Talking to Dawn, senior JUI-F leader Senator Maulana Mohammad Khan Sherani said the sooner the government heeded to his party’s advice the better it would be for continuation of the political process in the crisis-ridden province and for the rest of the country.
Maulana Sherani, who is also chairman of the Islamic Ideology Council, said his party had asked the PPP to immediately lift governor’s rule and let the political process take its due course in Balochistan.
He said JUI-F would support any move to replace deposed chief minister Nawab Aslam Raisani. “I assure the ruling PPP leadership that Nawab Raisani will resign within seven days after his reinstatement and the parliamentary parties in the provincial assembly can unanimously elect a new leader of the house,” he said.
At present the PML-Q has 19 MPAs, PPP 14, JUI-F nine, BNP seven and ANP four. There are 10 independent MPAs in the 65-member assembly.
Explaining his party’s formula to resolve the political crisis, Maulana Sherani said the PPP, PML-Q and ANP should nominate a new chief minister or leave it to the JUI-F and BNP. He said his party and the BNP were ready to sit on opposition benches if the other parties wanted their own chief minister.
He said Maulana Fazlur Rehman had discussed the issue of lifting governor’s rule with all parties in the ruling coalition, but their response was still awaited.
