QUETTA: The Jamiat-i-Ulema-i-Islam (JUI-F) has expelled its Balochistan Assembly lawmaker Maulana Noorullah from the party and decided to send a reference to ECP for his disqualification.

The expulsion decision of Maulana Noorullah was taken at a meeting of the provincial executive and parliamentary committee meeting of the party, presided over by JUI-F’s Provincial Emir Maulana Abdul Wasey. According to party sources, the decision had been taken against the MPA over his alleged violation of the party discipline and charges of alleged horse trading of councilors elected on the party tickets in the first and second phases of local bodies’ elections in Balochistan.

“The basic membership of Maulana Noorullah has been revoked forever and he will no more be a member of the assembly as a reference will be filed against him in the Election Commission of Pakistan,” a party leader told Dawn.

He said the membership of three other leaders of JUI-F, Molvi Anwaruddin, Molvi Muhammad Lal Akhandzada and Molvi Said Muhammad, had also been revoked for 10 years.
