Terming Qazi Hussain Ahmed’s resignation a “complete violation” of the Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal (MMA) manifesto, Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam chief and Leader of the Opposition in the National Assembly Maulana Fazlur Rehman has formally asked Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) to explain “in what capacity” Qazi resigned from the National Assembly. “The National Assembly seat was the property of MMA, not that of an individual or of a single political party. As part of a larger alliance, Qazi has violated the MMA manifesto and he is not allowed to take decisions in his individual capacity,” said Fazl in a press conference here on Wednesday. He said Qazi’s decision had startled him and his party. Subsequently, a JUI delegation met in Karachi with senior JI leaders, including Professor Ghafoor Ahmed, Syed Manwar Hassan and former Karachi City District Nazim Nimathullah Khan a few days ago. During the meeting, the JUI delegation asked the JI leadership how Qazi could resign without taking his own party and the MMA into confidence. “Qazi has to make it clear that either he does not abide by the JI party rules or JI should tell us that it does not abide by the MMA rules. Alliances do not function and survive like this. Individuals and single parties are always bound to respect the decision of the majority in a larger alliance,” he said.
Fazl made it “clear and final” that “MMA will not resign from the present assemblies at any cost. Therefore, we should no longer be asked whether or not we are resigning from the assemblies”.

Re: Fazlur Rehman blasts Qazi Hussain over resignation
Rehman has always been the more mature and level headed one of the duo... Betting if it werent for him, they would have gone their seperate ways a long time ago...

How does the Pakistani Parliament work? In the USA they have Parliament seats for local governors. In Pakistan do they have the same format or do they have Parliament seats for all Political Parties?

In US there is Senate+House of Representatives=Congress, no parliament.
