MULTAN, April 3: Taking its million-man march to Multan, the Muttahida Majlis-i-Amal is all set to condemn the US-led aggression against Iraq today.

An alliance of various religio-political parties, the MMA is staging rallies in various cities of the country as a part of its anti-war campaign.

Briefing newsmen on the route and schedule of the march, Jamaat-i-Islami Provincial Secretary-General Azhar Iqbal Hassan, who is the million-man march coordinator, said the rally would start marching from the Khas Bagh and reach the Kutchery chowk where the MMA’s central leaders, including Allama Shah Ahmad Noorani, Qazi Husain Ahmad, Hafiz Husain Ahmad, Allama Sajid Mir and Allama Sajid Naqvi would speak.

He said veteran politician, Nawabzada Nasrullah Khan, PML-N acting chief Javed Hashmi and Tehreek-i-Insaaf chief Imran Khan were likely to attend and speak to the participants in the rally. He added that convoys would come from Sahiwal, Khanewal, Vehari, Lodhran, Dera Ghazi Khan, Rajanpur, Leiah, Muzaffargarh, Bahawalpur, Bahawalnagar and Rahim Yar Khan. People from Jhang, Toba Tek Singh and Faisalabad were also expected to join the march.

Starting after the Friday prayers about 2pm, he said the faithful from hundreds of mosques in the district would join the march.

Mr Hassan said America and its allies had lost the legal and moral battle well before invading Iraq, while their initial war strategy had boomeranged with the resistance by the Iraqi people.

After the Multan’s march, the MMA’s central command would consider a proposal to send delegations to the Muslim countries to express unity over the Iraq crisis, he said.
