MMA stages protests against women's bill
2006-09-09
KARACHI: The Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal (MMA) staged demonstrations outside city mosques after Friday prayers and criticised the government for amendments in the controversial Hudood Ordinance.
“The audience came prepared with placards and banners inscribed with the slogans against President General Pervez Musharraf.”
MMA leaders gathered outside Pathan Masjid after prayers in a main demonstration during which members of the national and Sindh assemblies addressed worshippers and criticised the government for promoting "anti-Islamic" activities in Pakistan.

The audience came prepared with placards and banners inscribed with the slogans against President General Pervez Musharraf. The speakers claimed that the government's women's emancipation bill was "anti-Islamic" and religious parties would not allow them to have it passed by parliament.
