ISLAMABAD: The JUI-F’s strategy to delay till last minute its decision to support PML-N’s nominee Mamnoon Hussain in the presidential election is going to pay it with two posts in the federal cabinet, Dawn has learnt.
Although the Jamiat Ulema-i-Islam-F officially denies having any “underhand deal” with the ruling PML-N, sources in the two parties said the PML-N had agreed to offer two ministries to the religious party as a reward for its support.
Talking to reporters outside the Parliament House, JUI-F chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman claimed that his party had extended “unconditional support” to Mr Hussain and the issue of cabinet positions had not been discussed. But later in a statement issued in the evening, he said: “The party will submit the names for the cabinet at an appropriate time.”
Justifying the delay in decision to support Mr Hussain, the Maulana said his party only wanted to register its reservations over the “ruling party’s attitude” of not taking its allies into confidence on issues of national importance.
