Muttahida Majslis-e-Amal Secretary General Maulana Fazlur Rehman said on Saturday that the party might review its decision to resign if “it is harmful for democracy”. Wimped out, did they? Barked worse than they bit.
Rehman told reporters on Saturday that the MMA would discuss the “danger of a civil war in the country if by-elections were forcibly stopped following the MMA’s resignation from the assemblies”.
Nobody said a word about by-elections being forcibly stopped that we saw. And I believe that's the first time the words "civil war" have been uttered in the context of Pak politix.
He said a meeting of the Jamiat Ulema-e-IslamÂ’s majlis-e-shura had been called in Islamabad on December 4 and 5 for this purpose. The decision of the JUI shuraÂ’s meeting would be presented at an MMA parliamentary party meeting on December 6 and 7, he added.
