The MMA central leader and Naib Ameer Jamiat Ulema e Islam (Fazl) Maulana Amir Hussain Gillani has said on Monday that the alliance would launch movement if the government fails to accept 17-point demands.
Talking to newsman he said, the government had agreed to meet 17-point demands which were presented during the course of dialogue with government.
These demands included Islamization of society through implementation of Council of Islamic Ideology recommendations, declaring Friday as weekly holiday, foreign policy formulation according to country's ideological basis, giving rights to women in accordance with Islam, abolition of the Madressah ordinance, easing restrictions on construction of mosques, repeal of the Industrial Relations Ordinance and withdrawal of the black law concerning dismissal of public servants etc.
The MMA, Gillani said, had achieved success by forcing the government to take the LFO to parliament; to get it passed by two-thirds majority and making it a point that no individual had the right to amend the Constitution.
He admitted that the acceptance of the vote of confidence to give president continuity in power was a bad compromise, but one thing achieved in it was government's acceptance that referendum also was not a proper way of election of the president.
