 The Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal (MMA) on Sunday protested the alleged opening of an US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) office at Chitral, threatening action if the office was not closed.

An MMA protest rally marched from Chew Bridge to Ataleeq, where a public meeting was held in which the religious alliance leaders delivered speeches. Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) Chitral amir presided over the rally while Shabbir Ahmad, the JI naib ameer, and other MMA leaders attended the rally. The speakers accused President Pervez Musharraf of kowtowing to US President George W Bush's agenda. They unanimously passed a resolution against the opening of the FBI office at Chitral, saying the area was peaceful and that there was no need for an FBI office there.

That's why Pakland is a model of peace and stability!" |
