MMA's anti-Musharraf campaign: Keep it out of Balochistan please
 Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (Fazlur Rehman group) leaders in Balochistan have asked the central leadership of the party not to take the current protest campaign by the Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal (MMA) against President General Pervez Musharraf, to Balochistan. "Maulana Muhammad Khan Sherani, the president of JUI-F Balochistan, has made it clear to Maulana Fazlur Rehman, the party president and the leader of the opposition, that the JUI-F Balochistan would not welcome the protest campaign in the province," sources in the JUI-F told Daily Times. They said Sherani also told Fazlur Rehman that the JUI-F had come into power in the province after many years, therefore it should rule the province calmly. "MMA should not hold a protest gathering in Balochistan that would destabilise the coalition government of the JUI-F and the Pakistan Muslim League (PML)," sources quoted Sherani as saying. Sources said the Balochistan JUI-F also made it clear to the central leadership of the JUI-F that the MMA should not extend its campaign to the North West Frontier Provinces (NWFP) either, restricting its campaign to Punjab and Sindh. Provincial leaders of the JUI-F have also suggested that the MMA hold gatherings in areas where the Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) had National Assembly seats," sources said.
