PESHAWAR, Dec 15: The Muttahida Majlis-i-Amal (MMA) announced on Monday a schedule for its countrywide movement to oust President Gen Pervez Musharraf from office.

“No more talks or consultations on LFO,” MMA’s senior vice-president Qazi Hussain Ahmad said while announcing the schedule at a crowded press conference at the Peshawar Press Club.

He said the “Remove Musharraf Campaign” would be launched from Multan on Dec 18 if the government failed to present the proposed constitutional amendment in the National Assembly before Dec 17.

Qazi Hussain said the alliance would hold its crucial meeting in Multan on Dec 17 to finalize its line of action. On Dec 18, a big protest rally would be organized in the city.

Rallies would be held in Dera Ghazi Khan and Sahiwal on Dec 19, while the MMA workers would assemble in Lahore on Dec 20 to organize a rally there, he said and added that rallies and processions would be organized in all district headquarters of the country.

After holding a protest rally in Lahore, he said, the anti-Musharraf campaign would enter Sindh. However, he did not announce any schedule for the NWFP where the MMA had established its government.

He said the campaign would also be extended to Fata where security forces were active in flushing out Taliban and Al Qaeda activists.

The Jamaat-i-Islami chief said the time had come to oust generals from politics and eliminate corrupt elements from the military.

He reiterated that the MMA would neither join the Jamali government nor would it give Gen Musharraf a vote of confidence regardless of any agreement over the LFO.

Asked when the MMA would hold its march in Islamabad, the JI chief said a decision on the exact date had not yet been taken, but the alliance could give a call any time.

He maintained that the campaign would remain peaceful and the organizers and workers would stage a sit-in in Islamabad and Rawalpindi to remove Gen Musharraf from the President House.
