MMA to meet tomorrow

Published June 17, 2003

ISLAMABAD, June 16: The supreme council of the Muttahida Majlis-i-Amal (MMA) will meet on Wednesday to chalk out strategy for launching the proposed mass mobilization campaign against the Legal Framework Order (LFO).

MMA deputy parliamentary leader Hafiz Hussain Ahmed told Dawn on Monday that combined parliamentary opposition groups in Senate would also hold a joint meeting on Tuesday at the Parliament House and Maulana Shah Ahmed Noorani would preside over the meeting before the resumption of Upper House’s session.

He said that the meeting of the alliance’s heads would also be attended by its vice-president and Jamaat-i-Islami chief Qazi Hussain Ahmed.

To a query about the tentative date of launching the mass mobilization drive against the LFO and the president, the MMA leader said: “We have already launched our struggle from June 10 with a rally at Sargodha and will hold another at Karachi on June 20.”

He said that the meeting of the heads of the alliance’s component parties would deliberate on the decisions taken by the combined opposition in the parliament.

Earlier, the combined opposition while taking a serious notice of Speaker Chaudhry Amir Hussain’s ruling had decided to move a no-trust resolution against him and also to begin a mass mobilization campaign.

It had also decided that all the combined opposition parties would hold meetings to prepare proposals which would be later discussed in the next party heads’ meeting about the protests inside and outside the parliament.

The MMA besides deliberating upon the holding of protest rallies would discuss the ongoing visit of president to four Western countries and his tirade against the NWFP govern-ment.
