Pakland to get government it deserves...
Pro-democracy parties in Pakistan say they have struck a deal with a six-party Islamic alliance to form a new civilian coalition government. The leader of the Alliance for the Restoration of Democracy (ARD) said it and the Islamic MMA had secured a parliamentary majority, and had agreed on the name of a joint candidate for prime minister. Nawabzada Nasrullah Khan told the BBC the post would go to the MMA candidate, Maulana Fazlur Rehman, a fundamentalist cleric. Meanwhile, the parties supporting President Musharraf have called for further postponement of the opening session of parliament from Friday to allow further negotiations. Sounds like it's time to formally dump the Paks. Fazl won't even make a pretense of cooperation. Pakland obviously wants to join the Soddy-led World Islamic Lemming Procession. Far be it from us to stand in their way... Posted by: Fred Pruitt 2002-11-06 |
