Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam Fazl (JUI-F) has responded to President Asif Zardari’s objections to the Seminary Registration Bill, terming them as “astonishing” and “unlawful”.
According to JUI-F spokesperson, the President’s objections were not submitted within the timeframe stipulated by the constitution.
The spokesperson further stated that the objections were not accompanied by any proposed amendments or solutions, which is a requirement for such objections.
Moreover, the objections were not sent to the Speaker of the National Assembly, as is the standard procedure.
JUI-F has expressed its disappointment with the President’s objections, which they believe is a deliberate attempt to delay the passage of the bill.
