NOWSHERA, Oct 27: Chief of the Jamaat-i-Islami Qazi Hussain Ahmad has threatened to launch a countrywide movement against the government soon after Ramazan.

Talking to journalists here on Monday he accused President Gen Pervez Musharraf and Prime Minister Mir Zafarullah Khan Jamali of trying to evade their promises they had made with the Muttahida Majlis-i-Amal regarding the Legal Framework Order.

Qazi Hussain threatened to start a movement to what he said topple the Jamali government if the government did not table the amended LFO bill in the National Assembly.

He informed that the prime minister had convened a meeting of the ruling party’s parliamentary group and other like-minded parties in the National Assembly, adding that a proposal was under consideration to resume talks with the MMA and other opposition parties.

But he ruled out the continuation of talks with the government on the LFO issue, saying after the agreement, the alliance did not need to hold further talks on the issue. He said that if the government continued with the delaying tactics, the MMA would start a protest movement in the country.

Qazi Hussain said that MMA’s chairman Shah Ahmad Noorani and other leaders had recently visited Gwadar port to look into the local people’s grievances, adding that they had found that the government was usurping the rights of the people of Gwadar.
