Jamiat Ahle Hadith chief Ibtasam Elahi Zaheer gave an application to Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal (MMA) chief Qazi Hussain Ahmed on Thursday to join the religious alliance. Zaheer gave the application to Qazi at a meeting in Mansoora. Qazi said the issue would be taken up by the Supreme Council meeting schedule for July 16 in Peshawar.Qazi also urged all political and religious parties to unite with the MMA to start an anti-government movement in September. "We don't have any other option, but to launch an organised mass movement to drive the current civilian and military rulers out of power. We are not against the army, but want to relieve them of the political burden so that they can focus their attention on the defence of the country," he said.
