Yet Maulana Fazal ur Rehman, general secretary of Muttahida Majilis-e-Amal Pakistan (MMA), an alliance of six Islamic parties, told the press in Islamabad that the alliance will not allow the government to make any changes in the Hudood Ordinance or blasphemy laws. The MMA won the third-highest number of legislative seats in the 2002 election. According to the Urdu-language daily "Khabran" in Multan, Rehman said all Islamic religious schools of thought are united on Islamic laws, "so we will defend these laws strongly."
A long road ahead for President Pervez Musharraf
