| The Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal (MMA) will not hold talks with the government until it honours the previous round of talks, which resulted in the passing of the 17th Amendment, said Syed Munawar Hassan, the secretary general of the Jamaat-e-Islami (JI). Addressing a press conference on Friday, Mr Hassan warned that if President Gen Musharraf did not shed his uniform by December 31, he would no longer be acceptable as president to the MMA. He added, "A movement would be launched to try President Musharraf and the assembly members who passed resolutions in favour of his uniform for treason under Article 6." Mr Hassan said that although President Musharraf enjoyed a constitutional status as president till December 31, it would lapse if he violated the 17th Amendment by keeping his uniform. |
