Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif on Friday again requested Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam chief Fazlur Rehman to review his party’s decision to de-seat Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf parliamentarians through a motion in the National Assembly.

During a meeting on Friday, the JUI-F chief apprised the prime minister about discussions held in his party pertaining to this issue and said it would be resolved within the limits of the constitution. Sharif said that the policy of political reconciliation should continue and the resolution to de-seat PTI lawmakers should be withdrawn.

The JUI-F and Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) had prepared resolutions to table in the National Assembly on Tuesday to de-seat the PTI MNAs, but voting on the resolutions was deferred after Finance Minister Ishaq Dar asked NA Speaker Ayaz Sadiq to ensure that parliament does not rush the matter.
