MMA, opposition to meet soon: Qazi Nowshera, Dec 22: Ameer of Jamaat-e-Islami Pakistan Qazi Hussain Ahmad said on Thursday that the alliance and the combined opposition would take a decision about launching a movement against the government at a joint meeting to be held soon. Speaking at a public meeting in Azakhel here, Qazi Hussain Ahmad said that opposition parties had already completed consultations on the anti-government movement. “The announcement about the launch of the movement will be made in the MMA and opposition parties meeting soon,” Qazi Hussain Ahmad said. The Jamaat leader said that President Pervez Musharraf had again raised the issue of Kalabagh dam in order to “prolong his rule and continue as the uniformed president of the country”. According to him, the masses were looking to the opposition to oust the present rulers as they had failed to resolve people’s problems. On this occasion, the president of Al-Khidmat Foundation, Mohammad Hanif, and dozens of workers announced their decision to join the Jamaat-e-Islami. Qazi Hussain, who is the parliamentary leader of MMA in the National Assembly said President Musharraf was caught in a whirlpool and he was making false statements to carry out the American agenda. Due to his wrong policies, he said, the government was facing many problems. The MMA leader said that Nato forces should be immediately pulled out from Pakistan and other Muslim countries. He said Gen Musharraf had denied the presence of Nato troops in Pakistan, even though the US had itself admitted that Nato was engaged in relief operations in the quake-hit areas. “Gen Musharraf is lying to the nation and the combined opposition will soon chalk out a strategy to launch an anti-government movement,” the MMA chief said. |
