Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam leader Maulana Fazlur Rehman met with a senior politician widely considered to be close to the establishment on Wednesday.

The former Federal Minister, Muhammad Ali Durrani, reportedly briefed Fazlur Rehman on his political connections.

The meeting, which took place late Tuesday night and continued into the early hours of Wednesday, focused on political matters and strategies for the future.

During the meeting, Fazlur Rehman reiterated his party’s commitment to remaining in the opposition, emphasizing their stance against legislation that contradicts democratic principles.

He expressed concern that the government’s actions are detrimental to the people’s interests and that joining such a government would only fuel public anger.
