LAHORE: Jamiat Ulema e Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) and Jamaat e Islami (JI) have agreed to work together in an effort to restore peace in the country, the consensus arrived after both parties’ chief held a meeting in Mansoora on Saturday, Dispatch News Desk (DND) reported.
In a joint press conference, JUI-F chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman and JI chief Syed Munawar Hassan said that all the political leaders are invited to attend an all-party conference (APC) being hosted by the JUI-F on February 28.
Meanwhile, the JUI-F chief said that he would meet PML-N chief Nawaz Sharif as part of his party’s efforts to restore peace in the country including the federally-administered tribal areas (FATA). He was of the view that peace in Pakistan is linked with FATA’s stability.
