NOWSHERA, Sept 16: Muttahida Majlis-i-Amal general secretary Maulana Fazlur Reh-man has said that the MMA will not join the government even if the talks over the Legal Frame-work Order were successful.

He was speaking at a convention of his own faction of Jamiat Ulema-i-Islam at Nawan Kallay here on Tuesday.

Maulana Fazl said that the martial law imposed by Gen Yahya had resulted in the disintegration of Pakistan, adding that the amendments inserted by Gen Pervez Musharraf in the 1973 Constitution had created even more dangerous situation for the country.

The religious parties alliance would struggle to resolve the deadlock over the controversial constitutional amendments, he remarked, saying that the LFO posed a potential threat to the integrity of the country.

The MMA leader said that the policies adopted by Gen Musharraf had alienated Pakistan and even antagonized Afghanistan, making the western borders along with the eastern insecure.

Maulana Fazl said that some representatives of the federal government were hatching conspiracies against the MMA government in the Frontier province. Despite the hostile propaganda unleashed against the provincial government in the world media, the MMA had succeeded to introduce reforms to resolve the problems facing the common man.

Terming Gen Musharraf’s policies a fiasco, Maulana Fazl said that the military rulers had provided the country’s soil and air space to the US forces to launch strike into Afghanistan to topple the Taliban government.

This logistic support resulted in the installation of an Indian friendly government in Kabul

This all spoke of the failed foreign policy of the Musharraf regime, he concluded.
