National Assembly Opposition Leader Maulana Fazlur Rehman said on Sunday that the Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal (MMA) was in contact with the Alliance for the Restoration of Democracy (ARD) to form a grand national alliance against President General Pervez Musharraf. "Our movement against the government has not gathered momentum as we are waiting for the ARD's January 14 meeting to start struggling together for the restoration of real democracy in Pakistan and ridding the country of one man-rule," he told reporters after a seminar on The Role of Religious and Political Parties in the Promotion of Peace and Tolerance. He said the ARD had joined the MMA's black day call, which was a sign of both alliances agreeing on some points to restore democracy in its real shape. |
