ISLAMABAD: The Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) has removed Hafiz Hussain Ahmed as the party’s spokesperson and appointed Aslam Ghauri in his place as the head of the information department, sources said on Wednesday.

The decision was taken by the Majlis-e-Shura, the party’s main decision-making body. The meeting was chaired by party chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman, the sources said, adding that Fazl briefed the participants about the decisions taken by the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM).

Recently, Hafiz Hussain Ahmed had disagreed with Nawaz Sharif’s statement about the military. The JUI-F had declared Ahmed’s statement as his personal viewpoint and dissociated the party from his remarks, according to the sources.

The JUI-F’s Majlis-e-Shura also called for immediate elections in the country, the party spokesperson said. “The only solution to the country’s problems is immediate elections,” he added. Another meeting of the JUI-F Central Working Committee had been convened in Lahore on December 14 and 15. https://tribune.com.pk/story/2271930/jui-f-removes-spokesperson-hafiz-hussain
