HYDERABAD, April 26: People’s Party Parliamentarians information secretary Taj Haider has hinted at launching fill-the-jails movement against the Legal Framework Order.

Talking to party workers at the residence of the PPP’s Sindh Council member, Usman Kennedy, in Hirabad on Friday night, Mr Haider said the protest movement would be launched in phases.

He claimed that even the Pakistan Muslim League-Q was opposed to the LFO. However, the PML-Q was not speaking against the LFO as it was afraid of losing its “fake” majority in parliament, he added.

He criticized President Gen Pervez Musharraf for terming parliament members uncivilized, saying that the president had insulted the people of the country.

The PPP leader said Prime Minister Mir Zafrullah Khan Jamali had marked 2003 as the year of Fatima Jinnah but he did not know that the women had fought against dictatorship.

He pointed out that his party had agreed to those clauses of the LFO which were envisaged in the 1973 Constitution and were not new.
