Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) Secretary-General Abdul Ghafoor Haideri has issued a stern warning to the government, threatening a march on Islamabad if the Societies Registration (Amendment) Act, 2024, concerning madrassa registration, is not approved by December 7. Speaking to journalists in Lahore, Haideri expressed concern over the government's "ill intentions" and urged immediate action to avoid unrest. He emphasized that while JUI-F prefers dialogue, it would be compelled to act if its demands are ignored. The Societies Registration (Amendment) Act, passed by both the National Assembly and Senate in October, is a key part of an agreement between the government and JUI-F in support of the 26th Amendment. However, the delay in its enactment has sparked tensions. Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif assured JUI-F Emir Maulana Fazlur Rehman in a telephonic conversation that the concerns surrounding the bill would be addressed. Meanwhile, PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has also promised to discuss the issue with his father, President Asif Ali Zardari, who has yet to sign the bill. JUI-F leader Hafiz Hamdullah criticized the government's reluctance and called on Bilawal to ensure the matter is resolved, warning that Fazlur Rehman would announce a future course of action at a December 8 rally in Peshawar if the bill remains unsigned. #MadrassaBill #JUIF #PoliticalTension #PakistanPolitics #ReligiousFreedom #MadrassaRegistration

The Special Court (Overseas Pakistanis Property) Act, 2024, as passed by the Senate of Pakistan. The Act fundamentally changes the way in which disputes regarding immoveable property in which non-resident Pakistanis are a party are adjudicated, introducing the concept of leave to defend in such matters, and providing the right to appeal to the high court. It also mandates the establishment of Special Courts for such property disputes, and fixes a timeline for the disposal of these cases within ninety days. The Act raises questions regarding the fairness of treating non-resident Pakistanis in a more favorable manner as compared to locals, but in any case, every step towards accessible, proportionate, and expeditious justice is always welcomed. #Pakistan #Supremecourt #Highcourt #OverseasPakistanis
