ISLAMABAD Dec 15: The Muttahida Majlis-i-Amal (MMA) is most likely to announce a sit-in or a 'march on Islamabad programme' at its last mass mobilisation public rally in Rawalpindi on December 19.

This was stated by the deputy secretary-general of Jamaat Islami and MNA, Dr Fareed Ahmed Piracha, while speaking at a news conference here on Wednesday. Mr Piracha predicted strongest public resistance even stronger than the 1977 movement "if Gen Musharraf sticks to his decision of retaining army chief's office in violation of the 17th constitutional amendment."

Asked about the PPP Parliamentarian's demand of fresh presidential elections, Mr Piracha said the MMA would never accept any future elections under Gen Musharraf and would instead demand that the next elections be held under the supervision of Supreme Court.

He said the fate of so called referendum held for General Musharraf was still fresh in the memory of people and it would no more trust any general to conduct elections in the future.

The MMA movement he said would put to a permanent end to any future army intervention. To a query he said the MMA was opposed to the policies of general Musharraf aiming at appeasing the US and it will continue to oppose him even if he sheds his army chief's uniform.

He blamed General Musharraf for creating a crisis situation by withdrawing from the demand of Kashmir solution under UN resolutions, putting Islamic code of veil to ridicule, changing educational syllabus and the Hudood ordinance.

Responding to a query he said the MMA would like to ally with PML-N if a choice was given in the coming elections as it was close to its policies and concepts. He claimed that the Rawalpindi rally of the religion alliance will be the largest in the series and would become beginning of a country-wide movement against General Musharraf's policies and his retaining of COAS uniform beyond December 31.
