Qazi disdains to meet with Perv
2002-03-25
  • Jamaat-i-Islami chief Qazi Hussain Ahmed has rejected the government’s invitation to meet President Pervez Musharraf until a final decision is taken by the religious parties’ alliance Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal. "We have received an invitation from the government to meet Musharraf on March 27. The invitation is for a Jamaat delegation. However, Qazi Hussain Ahmed has rejected it until Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal’s meeting on April 2", Qazi’s spokesman S. A. Shami disclosed on Sunday. He added, "The Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal meeting chaired by Maulana Shah Ahmed Noorani will finally decide whether to meet Musharraf or not."

    "Amir [Fuehrer] Jamaat-i-Islami was earlier also invited for a meeting with Musharraf but he had rejected it on grounds that a delegation was not invited. Now Jamaat has rejected it until MMA decides about it", Shamsi said. "We will also stage countrywide protests against the government on March 29 for its failed policies". The spokesman said that the country was facing internal and external dangers due to wrong policies of the regime.

    "They have compromised on each and everything, they have even went to the extent to withdraw from the principled stand on Kashmir", he said. "Kashmir runs in our blood. We cannot betray the Kashmiri freedom fighters. The rulers have withdrawn from the stand and we will not tolerate it anymore".
