 ISLAMABAD: Maulana Fazlur Rehman, secretary general of the Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal (MMA), has said that the Supreme Court's (SC) ruling to bar madrassa certificate holders from contesting local council elections would not affect MMA candidates. In an interview with Radio Tehran on Thursday, Maulana Fazl, who is also the leader of the opposition in National Assembly, said the SC ruling was being seen against the political backdrop rather than going into its legal grounds. He said that the MMA was waiting for the SC's detailed judgement, adding that it was the duty of the Election Commission to implement the SC's decision but it was silent on the issue.

Maulana Fazl said the candidates affiliated with the religious alliance were engaged in electioneering and they would win the elections. However, the MMA secretary general criticised the media for propagating against the MMA candidates. |
