Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (JUI-F) chief, Maulana Fazlur Rehman has been advised a complete bed rest after his health deteriorated, sources said on Friday.
According to the close sources, Maulana has halted all political engagements for a few days due to his health condition.
JUI-F chief has been diagnosed with diabetes and doctors have advised him to avoid walking due to swelling in his left foot.
The development came a week after Maulana Fazlur Rehman called on Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif to discuss concerns related to the Seminary [Madrasa] Registration Bill.
On December 13, JUI-F Chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman lambasted the government for not issuing the notification of the Societies Registration (Amendment) Bill 2024, which he said has become a law after it was returned twice by the president.
According to a report by Pak Observer, addressing a news conference in Dera Ismail Khan on Thursday, he called upon the government to issue the notification without any further delay and said that a bill becomes an act automatically if not signed within ten days.
Mr. Rehman accused the government and the “institutions” of compromising on the Constitution in pursuit of their vested interests. “They are committing ridicule with the Constitution,” he said.
He threatened to go to court if the government further persisted in its avowed reluctance to give effect to the bill and wondered why no one objected to it when the bill came before parliament for voting.
