All the better, let the horse trading begin.
Re: MMA on verge of collapse ...... or is it ?
I believe that the JUI-F has now refused to resign from the NWFP assembly, as it's other APDuM partners have.
Re: MMA on verge of collapse … or is it ?
MMA has ceased to exist in all but name.

JUI-F moves no-trust against NWFP Speaker
The six-party religious alliance Mutahida Majlis-i-Amal (MMA) has almost ceased to exist when Jamiat Ulema-i-Islam (F) submitted no-confidence motion against Jamaat-i-Islami backed Speaker of NWFP Assembly, Bakht Jehan Khan. Signed by nine MPAs, belonging to Maulana Fazal Rehman’s JUl, the no-trust motion against the Speaker of NWFP Assembly was handed over to Secretary of the provincial assembly, Mohammad Mushtaq, at the time when presidential election was in full swing. Provincial Information Minister, Asif Iqbal Daudzai, along with JUI(F) MPAs Maulana Amanat Shah and Felex Innocent submitted the resolution. The resolution claimed that Speaker Bakht Jehan Khan has lost support of majority of the House, therefore, he should prove his majority or quit the office. The JUI (F) MPAs have also pleaded before the Secretary to dispose off the resolution of no-trust against the speaker in the ongoing session of the house. Maulana Tajul Amin Jabal, Raja Faisal Zaman, Gur Saran Lal, Abdul Rehman, Abdul Majid Khan, Shah Hussain and Shuja Khan Shazi also signed the motion. Talking to journalists the NWFP Information Minister said the speaker had failed to support the All Parties Democratic Movement (APDM) decision regarding dissolution of the provincial assembly. On such grounds, they decided Speaker Bakht Jehan Khan’s removal through a motion of no confidence. According to rules, the no-trust move could be tabled in the House after seven days of it submission while the Speaker shall not preside over the session when the motion is being tabled against him. The PML-Q and PPP-S have extended their support to Speaker NWFP Assembly Bakht Jehan Khan and claimed that they would foil the JUI(F) attempt. Mushtaq Ahmad Ghani of the PML-Q has made it clear that they woulds not support motion of no confidence against the Speaker while another PPP-S MPA said that JUI (F) was once again playing a game to avoid dissolution of the provincial assembly, which they promised ons October 8.

It will be interesting to see who will pick up the pieces, support and votes. Imran, if he could, would move in a sense to cease what is left of a opposition with no plan to move forward and have a platform to vote for. I see Mush taking all of it.

JUI of Fazlur Rehman is moving closer to the govt, while Imran has basically conceded that it's too late to do anything against Musharraf.

Cracks in MMA may prove fatal
The cracks that have surfaced in the Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal (MMA) may prove fatal for the six-party alliance, as its two major components have locked horns ahead of the general elections. The Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) and the Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) remained at loggerheads most of the time in the last five years of their shared rule in the NWFP. The top leadership of the two parties, however, made all-out efforts to keep the alliance intact. Recently, Qazi Hussain Ahmad and Maulana Fazlur Rahman, argued during a meeting of the All Parties Democratic Movement (APDM) in Peshawar over the issue of tendering resignations from the parliament. The Awami National Party (ANP) leader Asfandyar Wali had to intervene to end the verbal clash. The stance of the two MMA components was different over a number of issues since day one. The number of ministers from the two sides, the slot of the senior minister and the speaker and many other issues divided the two parties on different occasions. The JI cabinet members also refused to reside in official bungalows while the JUI-F ministers availed the facility.
The two groups had different stand over presentation of Shariah and Hisba Bills. During the past few weeks, the JI became aggressive against Musharraf while the JUI-F seemed to have some soft corner for the rulers. The JUI-F, according to sources, has now decided to continue running the affairs of NWFP Assembly without JI and may induct new MPAs into the cabinet to replace the sacked ministers. This was, however, for the first time that the JI left the JUI-F halfway and went along with the ANP and Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) to quit the NWFP Assembly. Though Maulana Fazlur Rahman complained they were not informed about this step, the JI leadership insisted that the MMA secretary general knew about the development. A day later, the JUI-F took an extreme step by submitting no-trust move against the NWFP speaker, elected on the ticket of the JI. The JUI chief minister also sacked all the JI cabinet members through a notification. Maulana Fazlur Rahman had hinted at action against the speaker during a press conference. However, it was not expected the party would come openly against the JI in such an aggressive way. The JI was unhappy with Bakht Jehan Khan for not suspending the rules of business so the treasury members could move a motion to show their trust in Chief Minister Akram Khan Durrani. “Had the speaker relaxed the rules on October 1, we could have easily countered the no-trust move against the chief minister before dissolving the assembly on October 5,” said Maulana Fazlur Rahman. The speaker, however, said he had the statement of the provincial Law Minister Zafar Azam, who accepted the fact that under the rule 18-D of Article 136 nothing could be done about the opposition’s no-confidence move before October 7. Zafar Azam is a cabinet minister associated with JUI-F. “When it comes to the Constitution, articles and rules become secondary,” Bakht Jehan said while reacting to the statements of Maulana Fazl and Durrani. Durrani was very angry with Bakht Jehan and even said morally the speaker had no right to come to the house after not having a single lawmaker behind him. It is to be seen as to who will chair the NWFP session today if the speaker refused, because the province does not have a deputy speaker for the past one-and-a-half years. A tough time is ahead for the speaker when the no-trust motion will be moved against him in the house because he has not a single MPA of his party behind him now.

Haideri and Baloch try to save MMA from split
Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) Secretary General Maulana Abdul Ghafoor Haideri and Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) Punjab Ameer Liaquat Baloch are trying to save the Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal (MMA), which is on the verge of collapse after serious differences arose between JI Ameer Qazi Hussain Ahmed and JUI-F chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman over the dissolution of the NWFP Assembly and en bloc resignations from the assemblies, Daily Times learnt here on Sunday. The JUI-F and JI are the biggest components of the five-party religious alliance.
**Qazi, Fazl not on speaking terms: Sources said that MMA President Qazi Hussain Ahmed and MMA Secretary General Maulana Fazlur Rehman were not on speaking terms. **Haideri and Baloch held a meeting to defuse the tension between the two leaders. The sources said that another meeting was expected in the next few days to resolve the issue. Haideri told Daily Times, “It is true that I have met with Baloch to resolve the crisis although the JI deserted the JUI-F on the issue of the NWFP Assembly’s dissolution.” In another development, MMA Vice President and Markazi Jamiat Ahl-e-Hadith chief Senator Sajid Mir has also become active to resolve the Fazl-Qazi differences. The sources quoted Mir as saying that the religious alliance should be kept intact to get a reasonable strength in the assemblies after the general elections.
Mir to involve Sharifs: They also said that Mir would soon visit London and Saudi Arabia to involve former Punjab chief minister Shahbaz Sharif and former premier Nawaz Sharif to play a role in resolving the Qazi-Fazl issue. The sources also quoted him as saying that the All Parties Democratic Movement’s (APDM) decision of en bloc resignations was unwise and the major reason behind the movement’s failure in the presidential election. They also quoted him as saying that lawyers’ movement against President General Pervez Musharraf had outshone the opposition’s. Mir was also quoted as saying that the MMA should adopt a new strategy to restore its public image. They also said that Mir was optimistic about forming a national-level alliance with the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz and regional-level alliances with the Awami National Party and the Balochistan National Movement. They said Mir believed that a split in the MMA ranks would strengthen the regional parties making it difficult for the MMA to form governments in the NWFP and Balochistan.
