LAHORE- Former president General (r) Pervez Musharraf will not be invited to join the alliance of Pakistan Muslim league factions and if his 'request is received in future, then, the leaders of the alliance would be decided about his fate. PML (likeminded group) secretary general Humayun Akhtar said this while talking to media men at a press conference at his residence on Sunday. He said that he had not given any advice to former president about the National Reconciliation Ordinance (NRO), as the Chaudhry bothers did it, Hamayoun said. He said that the efforts for unifying all league factions on a single platform started in June 2010 on which, PML-F, PML-L and PML-Z had formed an alliance at the residence of Khursheed Mehmood Kasuri on July 15. He said Sheikh Rasheed Ahmad of Awami Muslim League (AML) and Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain of PML-Q then met PML-F chief Pir Sahib Pagaro and announced their alliance. Later, Mumtaz Bhutto of Sindh Democratic Front (SDF) and Ghulam Murtaza Jatoi of National Peoples Party were also contacted with an objective to forge a greater alliance and seek public support for 'third party option, he said. Akhtar said five league factions would be participating in the next meeting to be held in Lahore in the current month to practically launch the alliance and prepare its manifesto. Pir Pagaro would preside over the meeting, he added. Claiming that the alliance has not been formed to establish a new government or ousted the existing one, he said its objective was to save Pakistan from prevailing political crisis. He, however, said the PML-L would maintain its separate identity even after joining the alliance. To a question, Akhtar said Gen (r) Musharraf had been conveyed that he should start politics only after returning to Pakistan but this was not the right time for his return. To another query, he claimed the matter of Dr Aafia Siddiqui was neither taken up nor discussed in the cabinet meetings. To reply to a question, he said though some politicians from PML-Q had joined Musharrafs All Pakistan Muslim League, however, no one from PML-L done this. Makhdoom Ahmad Mehmood, who is the president of PML (functional) Punjab chapter, said activists of Muslim leagues in south Punjab, Sindh, Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa were disappointed with the current political situation and 'two-party politics in the country and that they could be mobilised only if all factions get united on a single platform as a third option for the masses. He said the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) had always got benefits of divisions in Muslim league. He said PML-N of Nawaz Sharif was not formally contacted for its inclusion into the alliance.
