MMA cannot be revived through sloganeering: JI chief
[Dawn] Jamaat-i-Islami chief Munawwar Hasan on Monday said that the Muttahida Majlis-i-Amal (MMA) would revive neither through sloganeering and nor through the pressure of one political party.
A coalition of religious parties can only come about by learning from mistakes made in the past and by making up for those mistakes, he said.
Religious parties which have sided with the People's Party and the American military have to answer for damaging the objectives of religious forces, he said.
"Some of the religious parties played a negative role during the period of the MMA government and therefore damaged the coalition," Hasan said.
He further said that while the United States was in talks with the Afghan Taliban, it was against Pakistan talking to the Pakistani Taliban. "This is sheer hypocrisy," Hasan said.
