Jamia Hafsa crisis damaging madrassas’ image: FazlPESHAWAR: Opposition leader in the National Assembly and Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUIF) central leader Maulana Fazlur Rehman said on Thursday that Jamia Hafsa crisis was a drama by seminary students which would earn a bad name for ulema and all madrassas. Speaking at a meeting of the JUIF central committee at the Frontier House, Maulana Fazl said the MMA was in contact with all religious seminaries that he said were not involved in any anti-state or anti-Islamic activities. Fazlur Rehman said the MMA was not the name of just an alliance, “rather it is a platform for people to contest the next general elections and to give honest leadership to citizens.” The opposition leader said the MMA leadership was holding dialogues and negotiations at every forum to maintain peace and law and order situation in the Frontier province. staff report
