PPP may postpone rally, says MMA
LAHORE, April 10: The MMA alleged on Sunday that the PPP and Gen Pervez Musharraf had reached an understanding after which the PPP could postpone its April 16 rally. Punjab MMA and Jamaat-i-Islami chief Liaquat Baloch said at a meeting of party leaders here that the religious alliance would hold its rally between Gujranwala and Lahore on April 16, as scheduled.
He alleged that the PPP was damaging the cause of democracy by its attitude. He said it would have to choose between the agenda of Gen Musharraf and the struggle of the democratic forces for the supremacy of the Constitution and parliament. It would have to give up duality.
The MMA leader said public response to the religious alliance’s strike call had unnerved the rulers. He made it clear that the alliance would not allow anyone to hold joint male-female marathons in any part of the country.
