PESHAWAR, March 4: Jamaat-i-Islami, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa amir Prof Mohammad Ibrahim Khan has said recent meetings of Jamiat Ulema-i-Islam-F chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman with US ambassador and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa governor will spoil the efforts for restoration of peace in the region.

Speaking at a press conference at Al-Markaz-i-Islami here on Monday, the JI leader said meeting of JUI amir with the US envoy was violation of the resolutions adopted unanimously in the all parties conference held in Islamabad on Feb 28.

Flanked by JI provincial general secretary Shabir Ahmed Khan, information secretary Israrullah Khan advocate, former MNA Sahibzada Haroon-ur-Rasheed, the JI chief in KP said in the APC it had been decided that the tribal jirga would be further expanded but instead of doing so the JUI amir initiated meetings with governor and foreign envoys on the issue.

“Had the JUI initiated the meetings before the APC the rest of parties will have no objection but after the resolutions such acts are violation of the APC decisions,” he said and added now the JUI leader was bound to abide by his commitment and the resolutions otherwise the APC would be a futile exercise.
