MMA considering polls boycott |
2007-11-22 |
Indian High Commissioner in Pakistan Sita Parata Pall and British Political Counsellor Tom Drew held separate meetings with Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal (MMA) General Secretary Maulana Fazlur Rehman at the parliament lodges, and exchanged views on the political situation of Pakistan on Wednesday. Rehman told the Indian and British diplomats about the MMA’s stance and said the imposition of emergency rule and the Provisional Constitutional Order (PCO) had destabilised the country. “There is no possibility of free and fair elections under these circumstances,” he said. “The MMA is considering to boycott the elections, but the MMA supreme council will take the final decision on it,” he added. |
