NOWSHERA, Sept 7: Muttahida Majlis-i-Amal president Qazi Hussain Ahmad has said that opposition parties will force President Gen Pervez Musharraf and the ruling coterie out of power before next general elections. “We neither accept Gen Musharraf as army chief nor as president of the country,” said Qazi Hussain Ahmed while speaking at a councillors’ convention here on Wednesday.
The nation stands united against ‘agents of America and Israel’, the Jamaat-i-Islami chief said. He expressed the hope that the strike called by opposition parties for Sept 9 would be successful.
“This strike will be voluntary and we will convert it into a movement against rulers.”
He said that in line with opposition parties’ request to the MMA, the leader of opposition in the National Assembly, Maulana Fazlur Rehman, and NWFP Chief Minister Akram Khan Durrani would continue their boycott of the National Security Council which he added was an illegal and unconstitutional body.
Senior provincial minister Sirajul Haq, JI leader Merajuddin and Al Khidmat panel’s nominee for the office of the district nazim Asif Luqman Qazi also addressed the convention.
