Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal (MMA) Secretary General Fazlur Rehman said on Tuesday that holding free and fair elections is the only way out of the current political crisis.Addressing a press conference here he said his party would take part in elections if held under the Provisional Constitutional Order (PCO).
He criticised the arrest of political leaders, workers, lawyers and journalists and demanded their immediate release.
The MMA leader said that no contact has been made with the government or President Pervez Musharraf after the imposition of emergency in the country.
He said that he was in contact with all political leaders and would try to unite them to struggle for democracy in the country.
In reply to a question, Fazlur Rehman said that all the political parties had agreed on a one-point agenda to form The All Parties Democratic Movement (APDM). But soon after every political party went their own way, undermining the movement.
He denied there were differences among MMA leaders, adding that nobody would be allowed to further block the alliance. Fazlur Rehman asserted that he always preferred moderation in the pursuit of political goals.
