| Nasrullah Khan steps down from ARD... |
| 2002-09-12 |
| Veteran politician and founder of leading opposition alliance Nawabzada Nasrullah Khan has stepped down as the chief of Alliance for the Restoration of Democracy (ARD) on Tuesday saying his health did not allow him to continue. He wants to keep it... The veteran opposition leader denied any differences in the alliance and said "the ARD is intact and soon it will elect its new chief from among the components of the alliance." At present, the central secretary-general of the alliance Zafar Iqbal Jhagra of the PML-N is acting as president, but there are chances that the PPP-P president Makhdoom Amin Fahim will be elected as the new chief. Nasrullah said he and his party would remain in the alliance. He said he felt proud that he had formed all the opposition alliances except Islami Jamhoori Ittehad, which was formed by the former ISI chief Lt Gen Hameed Gul. Alliance for the Restoration of Democracy is an umbrella organization for all the fundo political parties — which are working toward not democracy, but a khalifate. |
