DERA ISMAIL KHAN, Dec 22: The Leader of the Opposition in the National Assembly, Maulan Fazlur Rehman, has said that former prime minister Mian Nawaz Sharif has not invited him to attend the All Parties Conference in London.

“I have not received a call or invitation from Mian Sahib for the London conference,” said Maulana Fazl, while speaking at a press conference here on Friday.

Maulana Fazl eschewed a question about the joint meeting of Qazi Hussain Ahmad and Imran Khan with the former premier and said that the Muttahida Majlis-i-Amal was the best forum for all opposition parties of the country and it was active for the formation of grand opposition alliance.

The maulana criticised the remarks of the German ambassador to Pakistan regarding the six-party alliance and said the diplomat had violated diplomatic norms.

“He (the ambassador) has no right to comment on Pakistani politics and should correct his statement,” he said.

Commenting on the Afghanistan situation, he said Nato forces should concede to their defeat.

He said that some elements were trying to sabotage the North Waziristan Agency peace deal, because the federal government was under pressure.

Maulana Fazl said that the Supreme Court of Pakistan had no constitutional powers to issue an interim order against the Hisba bill. The apex court, he added, could only interpret a particular section or clause of the Constitution.
