| Fazl sez Pakland will turn into Algeria if he can't have his way... |

| MMAâs PM-nominate Maulana Fazlur Rehman termed the American ambassadorâs dubbing any one hot-favourite for prime ministership as interference in the internal affairs of Pakistan. Talking to newsmen here he said the such statements warn of some danger and added that the internal and external forces will have to honour the mandate of the people. Ummm... MMA didn't get a majority of seats, did they? He said President Musharraf wanted change and the mandate to MMA indicates that people really want change in the country. âMutahida Majlis-e-Amal has got special and others general mandate in the electionsâ. I'm still trying to figure what makes theirs "special". What've I missed? He warned that if hurdles are undemocratically created in the way of MMA to power, the situation would turn into Algeria and Bangladesh and the responsibility would be on the powers ruling the country. That's because MMA adherents have no control over their own actions. Actually, except for the turbans, I can't see too much difference between Pakland and Algeria now... Deadlock, stalemate and quagmire would lead the country towards disintegration, he said and added the power will have to be handed over to democratic forces. That means him... Fazlur Rehman said the MMA is following the policy of reconciliation and flexibility. ... by threatening violence, death, and national disintegration. |
