 Both factions of the JUI have frequently come together on a common platform to oppose American drone strikes in Pakistan's tribal areas, viewing it as a violation of Pakistan's sovereignty.For example, following the 2 May 2011 U.S. raid in Abbottabad that led to Osama Bin Laden's killing, the JUI-F and the JUI-S participated in a multi-party conference in Peshawar, condemning the drone strikes and calling on the government to end logistical support to NATO troops in Afghanistan.On the domestic front, members of the JUI-F have been vocal critics of changes in the blasphemy laws.
