SAHIWAL, Feb 15: The Muttahida Majlis-i-Amal will take out processions and hold rallies at district and provincial headquarters level to protest against price-hike and unemployment in country.

A big demonstration would also be held at Islamabad, Jamaat-i-Islami's Punjab Amir and MNA Liaquat Baloch told newsmen at a press conference at the residence of Sheikh Shahid Hamid on Sunday.

Mr Baloch said that the MMA would continue to play the role of opposition in parliament. He regretted that the ARD did not support the MMA move to requisition the National Assembly session on the issue of the nuclear scientists.

"This will strengthen the hands of Pervez Musharraf and others who are working on the American agenda," he said, and urged the ARD leadership to help the MMA launch a struggle in parliament against the conspiracies being hatched by the US, India and Israel against the national interests of Pakistan.
