LAHORE: The decision to launch a movement against the government was taken in by the Supreme Council of the Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal, MMA President President Qazi Hussain Ahmed said on Monday. Mr Ahmed told a press conference here that Qari Gul Rehman, an MNA of the Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (Samiul Haq) had handed his resignation to the MMA president along with all Jamaat-e-Islami parliamentarians, and these would be sent to the National Assembly speaker "at an appropriate time". Mr Ahmed said that the MMA's anti-government drive aimed to restore true democracy. Public gatherings would be held all over the country to pressure the government, he said. If the army uses force to suppress the movement, "I will be the first to take a bullet in my chest," he said. He said Gen Musharraf was an unconstitutional president, and it was also unconstitutional for the present assemblies to elect him for a second term. He said the MMA would support the Alliance for the Restoration of Democracy (ARD)'s no-confidence move against the prime minister, adding that he would meet Nawaz Sharif and Benazir Bhutto if he visits London. "President Musharraf should resign from both his offices and hand over power to the real representative of the people," Mr Ahmed said.
