Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman on Friday said that his party would not support the amendment to the Army Act. Addressing a press conference in Islamabad, he said that he didn’t want to make the institutions controversial, adding that the amendment to the Army Act was a matter of the parliament. The JUI-F chief said that the Supreme Court of Pakistan had ordered to remove weakness with regard to extension of the army chief’s tenure, but more flaws were being created. “We will not allow a fake assembly to pass such legislation,” he said, and added that his party would not become part of the legislation process for passing the Army (Amendment) Bill, 2020. Fazl said that the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) and the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) extended support to the bill, but the JUI-F condemned the move. He said both parties should have taken other political parties into confidence over the matter before making the decision. “Taking part in voting will be equal to supporting the fake assembly,” he added. He said that in order to carry out such legislation there should be a conducive and democratic environment. He pointed out that the army chief s service extension matter should not be politicised keeping in view the dignity of the state institution.
