TOBA TEK SINGH, April 21: The Muttahida Majlis-i-Amal and all opposition parties in the ARD are in agreement not to accept the martial law in case the Musharraf government is toppled.

This was stated by Jamiat Ulema-i-Islam’s provincial patron and MNA Maulana Qazi Hameedullah while talking to journalists on Thursday evening at the residence of MMA’s district secretary-general Mian Abdul Basit.

He claimed that the meeting between JUI leader Hafiz Hussain Ahmad and PML-N chief Mian Nawaz Sharif in London was also held in this regard.

Opposition parties, he said, had also decided to launch a country-wide movement against present rulers.

However, its line of action would be decided in MMA’s shoora meeting being held in Islamabad on April 28.

The proposal of the Balochistan leadership of the Jamaat-i-Islami with regard to separation from governments of Balochistan and the NWFP by the MMA would be discussed and a unanimous decision would also be taken in the meeting.

About the Nishter Park bomb blast, the Maulana blamed both the government and the MQM for their involvement in diverting the attention of the public from real issues to sectarian hatred. JUI district amir Maulana Usman Ghani was also present on the occasion.
