The Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal (MMA) is holding its third public meeting today (Sunday) at Minar-e-Pakistan to exert pressure on President Pervez Musharraf to shed his military uniform by the end of 2004 in accordance with the 17th Amendment in the Constitution. Acting Lahore Nazim Farooq Amjad Mir told Daily Times on Saturday that the district government had granted MMA permission on 20 terms and conditions. These include maintaining law and order, not damaging public and private property, no display of arms, not creating any hurdle in the smooth flow of traffic, holding the meeting within the premises of Minto Park and ending the meeting by 5pm.
| Uhuh. I'm sure they'll comply in all particulars... |
The supreme council meeting of the religious alliance will be held at Mansoora in the morning at 10am before the leaders leave for Minto Park to attend the rally. They will discuss further strategies to strike President Musharraf at the meeting. Central leaders of the six MMA component parties, except Maulana Samiul Haq of Jamiat Ulema-e-Paistan-Sami (JUP-S), will attend the public meeting. The JUP-S has not been attending any MMA meeting for a long time because of differences with the Jamat-e-Islami and the Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl.
