ABBOTTABAD, Jan 4: The JUI-F candidates for NA-17 and NA-18 have renewed their pledge to enforce Sharia in the country after coming to power.

Addressing a convention of ulema, they criticised all those candidates who had decided to support other parties under seat-to-seat adjustment.

Syed Abdur Raheem Shah and Raja Aurangzeb, aspiring for NA-18 and NA-17 respectively, along with their party candidates for provincial assembly seats, attended the convention. They announced that they would launch their campaigns from mosques in order to woo voters, claiming that their party would bring about a revolution and make the country a welfare Islamic state.

Maulana Shabbir Kashmiri and Sardar Fazlur Rehman Shakir also addressed the convention.
