 Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal (MMA) Secretary General Maulana Fazlur Rehman says the religious alliance would prefer to sit on opposition benches and cooperate with political parties for legislation.
| That's when they're not walking out, of course. |
The MMA faced severe drubbing in MondayÂ’s parliamentary election. Qazi Hussain AhmadÂ’s Jamaat-e-Islami, an MMA component party, had boycotted the elections.
| That was a move of sheer brilliance, wasn't it? |
“Poll results shows people have rejected the idea to boycott the polls,” Rehman told former NWFP chief minister Akram Khan Durrani here on Tuesday. “Ahmad’s move to boycott elections has caused severe loss to the MMA’s credibility. He too must have observed this.”
| Not that he'd admit such a thing... |
The MMA leader vowed not to challenge election results, although he blamed the government for creating panic among political parties that kept them from effective campaigning. |
