ISLAMABAD: Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam F Chief Maulana Fazl-ur-Rehman agreed on Wednesday to ponder on delaying the Azadi march, upon the recommendation of the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz.
The PML-N leaders met with Maulana Fazl-ur-Rehman today in the federal capital.
After meeting Fazl, PML-N leader Ahsan Iqbal said that his party needs time for preparations.
He further said that Fazl will put forth the reservations of the PML-N in front of the council to discuss.
The PML-N leader said that a joint decision will be taken after consulting all the parties.
The PML-N earlier asked the JUI-F to postpone the Azadi March.
The party had already promised to support the Azadi March earlier, noting that in order to have the party workers come out in full force, it was necessary for the Azadi March to be deferred to November.
Earlier, Iqbal requested that an All Parties Conference (APC) be called to set the action plan for the JUI March — or the Azadi March.
