Pakistan’s Islamic alliance Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal (MMA) is on the verge of a split due to a deepening rift between leaders of its two key constituents.
The differences between the leaders of the Jamaat-e-Islami and Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam have been exacerbated by the stand of the two parties over the dissolution of the assembly in the MMA-governed North Western Frontier Province to discredit President Pervez Musharraf’s re-election in the October 6 election.
The MMA’s supreme council or top decision-making body has called a meeting here on October 22 in a last-ditch effort to keep the coalition together for the upcoming general election due by mid-January.
