MARDAN, Sept 4: Member National Assembly (MNA) Maulana Shujaul Mulk has claimed that people have rejected secular and progressive forces in the local bodies’ election and claimed that in most of the districts the Muttahida Majlis-i-Amal (MMA) would make their government.

Talking to local pressmen here Mr Shuja said that the people have followed the line of general election of the assemblies and have rejected both secular and progressive forces in the local bodies’ election, which were held recently.

He claimed that the people would see that in most of the districts of the province the MMA and particularly the Jamiat Ulema-i-Islam (Fazlur Rehman) group would make their governments — both at the district and tehsil level — and serve the downtrodden and backward masses of the province.

He said that the MMA had broken the past tradition and had put an end to opposition and ruling parties’ cultures in the province and they (provincial government) had provided funds equally irrespective of their ideologies and faiths.
