JUI-F Chief, Maulana Fazlur Rehman on Sunday ha refuted news item on leasing of land to him during the tenure of MMA government in NWFP. In a telephonic interview to a private television channel, Maulana said that as stated by former NWFP Chief Minister in his press conference, no such lease was executed.
The fact is that the competent forum has approved the lease of land for him, which was cancelled by the Chief Minister of his own party before implementation.
Further, it is unfortunate that the matter is being published in the newspapers repeatedly but no reporter has bothered to contact him to record his statement on the subject, Maulana said adding that it was against the ethics of journalism.
He said that former NWFP Chief Minister has also claimed during his press conference that no leasing was made during the tenure of MMA government in the province. Furthermore, 'The journalistic profession demands that the reporter, who floated the story, should have asked for his views concerning the matter,' he said.
However, no such contact has been made so far he said adding that now when his party has decided to take the matter to the court, some people were calling him to express his view on TV channel.
