Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) leader Qazi Hussain Ahmad said on Saturday that General Pervez Musharraf was using political turncoats to further his so called enlightened moderation agenda in the country through amendments in the Hudood laws, which were based on Quranic revelations. "The people of Pakistan will not allow army generals to change Pakistan's Islamic culture as there is no room for legislation on a secular basis in a country which came into being in the name of Islam," Qazi added while addressing a central training workshop for the JI women office bearers here at Mansoorah. The workshop was organised by the JI women's wing and attended by a large number of JI office bearers from across the country.Qazi also mentioned a government ploy seeking to enable a Karachi-based parochial group to make inroads in the Punjab political arena under official patronage. He said that Islamabad was using an American think tank, the International Republican Institute (IRI), to affect its agenda. Qazi said that a recent public opinion poll conducted by the IRI showed an upward trend in the mass support for the MQM but was incorrect and enough to prove the government's pre-poll rigging plans under official patronage. He said the MMA would thwart the plan by boycotting the elections held under General Musharraf.
