OKARA, Feb 15: Punjab MMA president Hafiz Idrees has said they will not offer any sacrifice for bringing Ms Benazir Bhutto and Nawaz Sharif back to Pakistan.

Talking to newsmen here on Sunday, he said: "We will not be a party to the conflict between the government and the ARD." He claimed the ARD had not contacted MMA for starting a protest against the government.

STRANGLED: A man who had been missing for the last two months was found murdered in Bongi Ram here on Sunday.
