LAHORE, Oct 3: Jamaat-i-Islami naib amir Prof Ghafoor Ahmad sees more crises during the post-election period due to what he says government’s partisan role.

Talking to reporters here on Thursday, he apprehended that the government move of supporting some political parties and individuals and ousting others (parties and individuals) from politics would lead to a severe crisis.

He said the MMA would cooperate with the PPP and PML-N in the elimination of dictatorship from the country but not in forming a future government.

Answering a question, Prof Ghafoor said no civil ruler could damage the institution of army as much as it had been damaged by Gen Pervez Musharraf by involving it in politics. “Now the people of Punjab have also started raising a voice against its role.”

He criticized Punjab governor Khalid Maqbool for what he said acting like an activist of the PML-QA and making the Governor’s House a centre of electoral activities.

He warned that a hung parliament, as was being planned by the authorities concerned, would result in a conflict between the new house and the army as going against Gen Musharraf would become a political compulsion of the new MPs.

Alleging that the government had also contacts with the MQM, he said this time election results in urban Sindh would be different.

He deplored that the code of ethics set for Elections 2002 was being violated openly with impunity.

He said Gen Musharraf had failed to achieve its seven-point agenda given to the nation on Oct 17, 1999, while the United States had also started ignoring him despite his services for Washington in its so-called war on terror.

He said unconditional support to the US for attack on Afghanistan was the biggest blunder of Gen Musharraf.
