 LAHORE: The Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal (MMA) will quit parliament if the Protection of Women Bill is passed in the form approved by a select committee of the National Assembly, MMA President Qazi Hussain Ahmad said on Monday. Qazi Hussain, asked by journalists at an iftar dinner if the MMA would resign from the Balochistan Assembly, said this was for the JUI-F to decide.
He warned that any election held under Gen Pervez Musharraf would be “mere selection”, in which the polls would be rigged in favour of the MQM, which he described as a “party of hooligans”. He said the JI Shoora would meet after Eid to chalk out a strategy for launching an anti-Musharraf movement. The MMA chief said if the PPP were in contact with the government, it would be a violation of the Charter of Democracy it signed with the PML-N. |
