The Chief of Tehrik Millat-i-Jafaria and leader of the Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal (MMA), Allama Sajid Ali Naqvi has said that the MMA is still a compact party, neither it was dissolved, nor it boycotted the February 18 elections.
"Only one of its allies, the Jamaat-Islami had boycotted the elections and we would review in our next meeting whether it took the right decision", he told newsmen at Multan Airport on Sunday.
Naqvi said that the MMA and all other political parties should accept that the Pakistan People's Party (PPP) and Pakistan Muslim League- Nawaz (PML-N) came out as the democratic force therefore should be given an opportunity of forming government in the centre and Sindh. He reiterated his demand for the inquiry of Benazir Bhutto's assassination case by the UNO's investigation team.
To a question he opposed military operation in Wana, Swat, and waziristan saying that the problem must be resolved through negotiations. Further, the MMA leader advised the President, Pervez Musharraf to accept the supremacy of the parliament that would enable him resolving the judiciary crises.
Also he agreed with the views of the caretaker interior minister that violent crimes like blasts and suicide attacks would come to an end with the arrival of a democratic government, who have people's mandate.
He said people had rejected elements that were fanning sectarianism, hatred, and parochialism by voting for the parties of their choices and it was a constitutional, legal, and moral right of those parties to form the federal government.
