MMA will neither resign nor support Musharraf: Sami
2007-09-10
Sammy's turban always makes me think he's wearing a bunny suit and some mean guy tied his ears in a knot.
Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (S) chief Senator Maulana Samiul Haq on Sunday said that the Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal (MMA) parliamentarians would neither support General Pervez Musharraf in the presidential elections nor would resign from the present assemblies.

Talking to reporters at Shairanwala, he said that the presidentÂ’s wrong policies had made Pakistan a vulnerable state. He said that his party would make seat-to-seat adjustment with like-minded political parties in the upcoming general elections. He said that his party had differences with the MMA on Legal Frame Work Order (LFO) and 17th amendment.

He said that whenever there would be a chance, his party would work for elimination of these illegal and unconstitutional amendments from the constitution. He said that there was a little chance that the All Parties Democratic Movement (APDM) would be converted into a political alliance because every component party of the movement had a different set of mind.

However, he made it clear that APDM was united on a two-point agenda; one was to oppose General Musharraf and the other was to restore true democracy in the country. He said that his party would welcome Nawaz SharifÂ’s return; however, it was the responsibility of the Supreme Court to get its verdict implemented.
