 Maulana Fazlur Rehman, the opposition leader in the National Assembly, has said that the Alliance for the Restoration of Democracy (ARD) was blackmailing the government in the name of the Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal (MMA), NNI reported. Mr Rehman told reporters on Sunday that the ARD's refusal to participate in the MMA's million-man march reflected its double standards that on the one hand it was making a deal with the government while on the other it was playing with the MMA on the pretext of talks. "The ARD is not struggling for people's rights, but to save Benazir Bhutto," he said.
| Ahah! So that's why only 35,000 of the million showed up! |
He asked Pakistan People's Party Parliamentarians (PPPP) President Makhdoom Amin Fahim why he was not attending the MMA's million-man march. Fazl criticised the PPPP, saying that it did not want a combined opposition. |
