Countrywide protest by MMA on Friday Staff Report Daily Times http://www.dailytimes.com.pk/default.asp?page=story_11-5-2005_pg7_34
KARACHI: The Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal (MMA) will observe a countrywide protest on Friday (May 13) outside mosques against the desecration of the Holy Quran by US forces at the Guantanamo Bay prison camps and the humiliating cartoon against Pakistan in the Washington Times newspaper. This was stated by the MMA and secretary general of the JI, Munawwar Hassan, at a press conference here on Tuesday at Idara Noor-e-Haq. Recounting unparallel cooperation of Pakistani rulers to US government in its war against terror. He said that, despite the "unparalleled" cooperation of the Pakistani rulers to the US government in its "war on terror" they had failed to appease the US, which amounted a foreign policy failure. He said the embarrassing cartoon in the Washington Times was not against the 150 million population of Pakistan, but it targeted the country's rulers who had been following dictates of the US government. He said the law and order situation in Sindh had spiralled out of control of the present coalition government and demanded that the president of the Pakistan Muslim League, Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain, interfere in the grave situation as he had done in the Dera Bugti area of Balochistan. He attributed the situation to the "complete control by Governor Ibad Khan over the administrative affairs of the province. He said the governor had sidelined Chief Minister Arbab Raheem. The JI leader said the MQM had unleashed a reign of terror on its political opponents in Karachi, and its student wing, the All Pakistan Mohajir Students Organisation (APMSO), was eliminating activists of other student organisations which also included IJT. http://www.dailytimes.com.pk/default.asp?page=story_11-5-2005_pg7_34 ------------------------ Yahoo!
