LAHORE, Dec 3: The Muttahida Majlis-i-Amal on Friday extended a formal invitation to the PPP and the PML-N to attend its public meetings to be held as part of its campaign against President Pervez Musharraf in Multan , Lahore and Rawalpindi and got a favourable response from them.

MMA's Mian Maqsood Ahmed and Qari Zawwar Bahadur met PPP leaders Naveed Chaudhry, Altaf Hasan Qureshi, Haji Azizur Rehman Chan and Samiullah Khan and exchanged views on cooperation between the MMA and the Alliance for the Restoration of Democracy.

According to Naveed Chaudhry, the PPP would come up with a positive response, but a formal decision would be taken by the ARD. The PML-N leaders with whom the MMA delegation met included Khwaja Saad Rafiq, Zaeem Qadri, Dr Asad Ashraf and Chaudhry Abdul Ghafoor.

The PML-N leaders were of the opinion that all democratic forces should have to pool their strength against the dictatorship. MNA Hafiz Salman Butt and Secretary General of Jamaat-i-Islami Lahore Amirul Azeem said at a news conference that the Lahore meeting would be held at Minar-i-Pakistan.
