MMA in 'no mood' to resign: Shujaat
Pakistan Muslim League President Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain said on Tuesday that the Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal is in no mood to resign from the National Assembly. Had they been interested, they would have already submitted their resignations to the speaker, which is a constitutional requirement for quitting the membership of parliament, said Shujaat at a PML womens convention to celebrate the passage of the Womens Protection Bill. He said that MMA MNAs had handed over their resignations to party leaders instead of giving them to the NA speaker, but the mere submission of resignations with the party leadership does not unseat a parliamentarian. The PML president said, We are all Muslims, and nobody can dare legislate against the teachings of Islam and Sunnah. NWFP PML President Amir Muqaam told the convention that the MMA was trying to impose its own version of Islam on people.Posted by: Fred 2006-11-22 |
