The ailing Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal (MMA) President Qazi Hussain Ahmad and General Secretary Maulana Fazlur Rahman on Monday agreed to convene a MMA supreme council meeting to decide the allianceÂ’s fate. Sources within the MMA said Maulana Fazlur Rehman visited the residence of Qazi Hussain Ahmad to inquire after his health and the two leaders decided to convene the MMA supreme council.
Former Jamaat-e-Islami MNA Shabir Ahmad Khan told Daily Times that the meeting lasted for 45 minutes. He said the MMA leaders did not discuss their differences in the meeting, but agreed to convene the supreme council to erase their grievances developed during the last two months. “Over the past 6 years, the MMA faced great challenges within the alliance on various issues, such as resignations from the Balochistan Assembly, National Security Council (NSC) and en bloc resignations from the national and NWFP assemblies. But all issues were later resolved amicably through the MMA supreme council,” said Shabir Ahmad, who was also present during the meeting.
