ISLAMABAD: Jamiat Ulema-i-Islam - Fazl (JUI-F) chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman on Friday termed the demands of Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf and Pakistan Awami Tehreek unconstitutional.

Speaking to media representatives outside the Parliament House, he said: “All political parties in parliament are unanimous that Prime Minister Muhammad Nawaz Sharif should not resign from premiership.”

Rehman said all those who have struggled for the continuation of democracy in Pakistan are united to safeguard it from violators.

He stressed that democracy will not be derailed and political parties will continue their fight to safeguard the Constitution and the law.

He said the National Assembly had rejected the PTI and PAT’s unconstitutional demands of the premier’s resignation and the dissolution of assemblies.

JUI chief urged the two parties to show political maturity and work for the strengthening of democracy in the country.

He claimed that PTI and PAT had isolated themselves and people in various parts of the country had started to protest against them.
