The federal government has reportedly decided to resume talks with Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman amid concerns over his continued criticism of the government and statements described by officials as anti-state, City 42 reported.
According to sources, the prime minister is expected to convene an important meeting later this week to consult political leaders and discuss a strategy for engaging with the JUI-F chief.
The government has reportedly decided to send a high-level delegation to meet Fazlur Rehman and persuade him to enter into renewed negotiations.
Sources said the delegation would seek to address political differences and encourage the JUI-F leader to reconsider statements that government representatives regard as contrary to state interests.
The proposed outreach comes amid concerns within government circles over Fazlur Rehman’s increasingly critical public stance.
The composition of the delegation and the date of its meeting with the JUI-F chief have not yet been disclosed.
There has been no immediate confirmation from Fazlur Rehman or his party regarding the proposed talks.
