Qazi wants opposition to ignore PPP
2007-06-28
If the Pakistan Peoples’ Party (PPP) tried to impede joint decisions at the All Parties’ Conference (APC) in London, Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal (MMA) would press other participants to go ahead with vital policy decisions without PPP in the larger interest of the country, said MMA president and Jamaat-e-Islami chief Qazi Hussain Ahmad on Wednesday. Talking to reporters after the party’s central council (Shoora) meeting, he reiterated his call for PPP leader Benazir Bhutto to attend the APC or send a delegation empowered to endorse key decisions. General Pervez Musharraf’s further stay in power would be detrimental for the country and the MMA would resist his re-election through present assemblies, said Qazi. He said the decision on participating in the elections would be taken after due consultations with other opposition parties. He was skeptical about the fire in the National Assembly, wherein the record of the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) and Services Branch was gutted down, terming it a shady business. “The current political situation is the main agenda item of the three-day meeting while the Shoora will devise the future course of action of the party”, added Qazi. He demanded the preparation of voters’ lists based on the computerised database of NADRA. He said the MMA would oppose polls with present lists.

#1  The MMA received 10% of votes in the last election. And most of those were cast in the rat-holes of NWFP and Balochistan. Qazi would look better with a bullet in his forehead.
