Fazl hints at MMA break-up
Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman on Monday hinted at a break-up of the Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal (MMA) on the issue of contesting the upcoming elections. “Yes, there is a possibility of a MMA breakup,” Fazl told reporters at a press conference after meeting the ambassadors of different Islamic countries here. Fazl said he had already told the all-parties’ conference (APC) in London that it would be impossible for the opposition to boycott the elections because the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) participation would make them credible. He said in the Tuesday meeting of the MMA Supreme Council that he would ask MMA President Qazi Hussain Ahmed to take part in the polls. Fazl said the time for one-on-one contests against government-backed candidates was over, which is why he had made seat adjustments with other parties where possible.
