After Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (JUI-F) chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman expelled senior politician Maulana Muhammad Khan Sherani from the party, the latter announced the separation of JUI-Pakistan from Maulana Fazlur Rehman's JUI-F. The expulsion was done on the basis of Sherani’s controversial statements.
Addressing a press conference Maulana Sherani said, "We have inherited politics from great leaders. Fazlur Rehman formed his own group called the JUI. We have always been and will always remain a member in accordance with the constitution of Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam.”
The senior politician stressed that none of the JUI-P's members would ever take any action against the teachings of Qur'an and Sunnah.
"What is happening now is devoid of truth and honesty. We have inherited politics from the great leaders [but] these members are no longer members of this party. God's curse is on liars and traitors."
