SWABI, Feb 10: Jamaat-i-Islami will make seat-to-seat adjustment with Jamiat Ulema-i-Islam-Fazl in the next general elections if Muttahida Majlis-i-Amal isn’t restored.

This was stated by JI provincial chief Professor Mohammad Ibrahim speaking to reporters after offering fateha for party leader Haji Mohammad Amin at Chota Lahor.

Mr Ibrahim said JI wanted MMA restoration feeling it would strengthen religious groups’ position in the next polls.

“We advocate for MMA, which stands tall and create a cogent force of religious parties,” he said.

The JI leader accused JUI-F chief Fazlur Rehman of being the main hurdle to MMA restoration and said his party’s leaders had been in contact with JUI-F stalwarts for formation of an ‘unbreakable’ alliance of religious groups on new terms and conditions.

He said JI would resist restoration of supplies to Nato in Afghanistan via Pakistan. Supplies have been suspended since the November 26 Nato attack on security forces’ checkpost in bordering area of Salala. Twenty four soldiers of Pakistan Army died in the attack. —Correspondent
