PESHAWAR: JUI-F chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman on Sunday pointed out a structural weakness on opposition benches, noting that the opposition leader failed to unite parties to effectively challenge the recent government legislation on armed forces command.
While noting that opposition walkouts without active resistance have harmed democratic checks and balances, the JUI-F chief urged joint opposition coordination inside parliament to prevent further unchecked legislative actions.
“The recent legislation was passed in a great haste, without any debate and even opposition members did not examine it in detail,” Maulana Fazl added while addressing party workers’ convention, organised by the JUI-F Khyber Pakhtunkhwa chapter, in Peshawar.
In his speech, he offered scathing critique of the recent legislations, creation of new provinces and law and order situation in the country.
