'MMA pledged Taliban-style governance'
 The Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal (MMA) pledged to introduce "Taliban-style of governance" in Pakistan, states a document obtained by Daily Times on Thursday. The document dated September 22, 2002, and issued after a meeting of the six components of the religious alliance in Islamabad states that every effort should be made to introduce "Taliban-style of governance" in Pakistan. This pledge was made a month before the October 2002 general elections. The MMA could not win the poll to form government in the centre, but returned with an absolute majority to the NWFP Assembly where it is currently passing a controversial law that the opposition and federal government equates with 'Talibanisation'. The document, unpublished until now, was signed by Maulana Fazlur Rehman, the late Maulana Shah Ahmed Noorani, Prof Sajid Mir, Allama Sajid Ali Naqvi and Qazi Hussain Ahmed.
