Committee urges MMA council to formulate strategy for MPC
By Our Staff Reporter
ISLAMABAD Feb 22: A Muttahida Majlis-i-Amal committee has urged the alliance’s supreme council to hold a meeting and chalk out the alliance’s strategy before the London multi-party conference.
The ‘movement committee’, headed by Liaquat Baloch, which met here on Wednesday evening, decided to build up momentum for a decisive movement against Gen Pervez Musharraf’s government over the next three months by holding conventions in all provincial and divisional headquarters in March.
The committee said that the president could not contest presidential elections for another term and the current electoral college was ineligible to elect an ineligible individual as president and said that if the uniformed president continued to rule the country, it would be extremely dangerous for the federation’s integrity and national security.
It decided to start staging rallies, public meetings and caravans in April and May but if a joint opposition succeeded in chalking out a common programme by that time, it would get precedence.
The meeting was attended by Maulana Abdul Ghafoor Haideri, Qari Muhammad Zawar Bahadur, Allama Abdul Jalil Naqvi, Hakim Qari Gul Rahman, Prof. Abdur Rahman Ludhianvi, besides chief of MMA Sindh Asadullah Bhutto, secretary-general Khalid Mehmood Soomro, NWFP secretary-general Mushtaq Ahmed Khan and Balcohsitan chief Maulana Muhammad Khan Sherani.
The meeting also decided to set up the central and provincial parliamentary boards and directed all district organisations to gear up for elections and send names of candidates to the provincial parliamentary boards.
The committee proposed that the alliance should participate in the London conference.
