MMA STRUGGLE: The Muttahida Majlis-i-Amal (MMA) will continue its protest movement till President Gen Pervez Musharraf leaves his military office. This was told to this correspondent by Chaudhry Asghar Ali Gujjar, parliamentary leader of the MMA in the Punjab Assembly here on Tuesday.
"The MMA will force the president to take off his uniform." He said the MMA believed in the politics of principle and was against the government's policies. "The MMA wants supremacy of the constitution and will not accept military supremacy over the parliament."
Mr Gujjar ridiculed the government claim that the MMA's anti-Musharraf drive has failed to mobilize the masses against the president. He said the MMA would continue fighting inside and outside parliament. "We will resist American intervention in Pakistan's affairs," he added.
