Maulana Fazlur Rehman, the leader of JUI-F, has expressed hope that the Societies Registration (Amendment) Bill 2024, which addresses seminary registration, will be approved. Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has instructed the relevant authorities to expedite the resolution of the issue.
The religious-political leader told reporters, “Hopefully, practical steps in accordance with the constitution will be taken as per our demands,” following his Friday meeting with Prime Minister Shehbaz.
The meeting took place one day after the premier invited the JUI-F to a meeting over the madrassa registration bill problem. Speaker of the National Assembly Ayaz Sadiq, Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar, Attorney General, PM’s adviser Rana Sanaullah, Minister of Law and Justice Azam Nazeer Tarar, and Information Minister Attaullah Tarar attended the meeting.
