LAHORE, Dec 31: An MPA of the MMA has announced that he will go against the decision of the six-party alliance of not voting for Gen Pervez Musharraf in the trust vote on Thursday.

Talking to newsmen at the Punjab Assembly cafeteria on Wednesday, Fiazul Hasan Chuhan, from PP-14, Rawalpindi, accused the religious alliance of being hypocrite on the issue.

MMA acting president Qazi Husain Ahmad, in a statement on Wednesday, directed alliance's MPs to attend their respective assembly's sessions on Thursday but abstain from voting process.

He had warned the MPs that going against the policy would mean violating discipline of the party. "What has been left there to resist after accepting Gen Musharraf as the president up to 2007," Mr Chuhan, who is also chairman of PA Standing Committee on Social Welfare, said and added that he would violate MMA's policy on trust vote.

Not a single point of order was raised in the NWFP Assembly on the LFO, while in the centre a hell of uproar was on the subject. About the double standards, he added, alliance leaders said it was because they themselves were ruling in the NWFP.

"It means the LFO would have been acceptable to them even in the centre had they been holding a sway in the federal government." Urging the party leaders to direct other MMA parliamentarians to also vote for Gen Musharraf who, he said, was capable enough to steer the country of the present crises.

The MMA, he said, should not offer its services for the political gains of the PPP and the PML-N. He alleged that MMA leaders seek concessions in their secret meetings with Chief Minister Pervaiz Elahi and deliver speeches against his government in public meetings.

He claimed that his chairmanship of the standing committee was also the result of such a secret meeting with the CM. He believed that his violation of MMA policy did not come under the defection clause of the Constitution.

MMA parliamentary leader Asghar Gujjar said disciplinary action would be taken against Mr Chuhan and his basic membership of the party (Jamaat-i-Islami) would also be cancelled after consultation.

He, however, said that Mr Chuhan would be given a chance to clarify his position before the disciplinary action. Mr Gujjar denied accepting any gains from the government, claiming they had said in a general term that chairmen of both the Public Accounts Committees should be from the opposition benches.

He said MMA deputy secretary-general Liaquat Baloch had complained with the chief minister about his government's efforts to break away alliance members.
