 The steering committee of the opposition parties decided during a meeting on Friday that the opposition would not hold dialogues with the government in the future, as it had no faith in the ruling parties.
| "Nope. Nope. Ain't gonna talk to 'em. It's our way or the highway." |
The committee stated that the only way to pull the country out of the crisis was President General Pervez Musharraf resignation from both offices without any further delay.
| "Just can't talk to the man, y'know. He's the voice of unreason." |
Liaqat Baloch, the coordination secretary of the committee and the deputy general secretary of the Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal, said that the committee held President Pervez Musharraf responsible for the constitutional, political and economic problems of the country. He said that the opposition would launch a movement against the government following Ramazan.
| I thought they launched a movement against the gummint the day after the 2002 elections? |
âThe opposition parties will protest against the government within and outside of the assemblies because of the rigging in the local council elections, the deterioration of law and order, the fuel price-hike and rise in unemployment in the country,â he said. He said that the committee had reviewed a protest campaign against the government, to run in phases, and added that demonstrations, seminars and corner meetings would be part of the campaign. |
