| Opposition wants PPP to join grand alliance: Fazl |
| 2007-04-23 |
| Opposition parties are trying to convince the Pakistan PeopleÂ’s Party to join the grand opposition alliance against the Musharraf-led military regime, said Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal (MMA) General Secretary and leader of the opposition in the National Assembly Maulana Fazlur Rehman on Sunday. He said if the PPP could not be convinced to join the opposition then the grand alliance would proceed without its participation. He said the PPP should examine the issue seriously. Rehman expressed these views while talking to journalists at the Wagah border crossing before he left for India. Referring to the Musharraf regime, he said it was exaggerating the threat of extremism to gain support from the US for the coming general elections. He said that the only reason PPP Chairwoman Benazir Bhutto was issuing statements against extremism was that she wanted to prove herself more moderate than President Gen Pervez Musharraf to the Western nations. |
