ISLAMABAD: Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam Pakistan Chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman has said his party’s elected members will join assemblies to play their parliamentary role, despite reservations.

Addressing a news conference here in Islamabad on Wednesday, he said an election defeat was inflicted on his party under a planning and pressure from international anti-Islam forces.

Maulana Fazlur Rehman invited Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz Supremo Nawaz Sharif to join hands with him and sit on the opposition benches.
