ISLAMABAD: Former president Gen (retd) Pervez Musharraf plans to bring together different political parties under the banner of the United Muslim League before he contests the next general elections.

To this end, a meeting of different factions of the Pakistan Muslim League (PML) was convened recently in Lahore.

Leaders of PML-Quaid, PML-Chattha, PML-Jinnah, PML-Likeminded, Muslim Conference of Azad Kashmir and All Pakistan Muslim League (APML) said they intended to merge their parties.

“We have come to the conclusion that we should merge together to form a single party,” said APML General Secretary Dr Muhammad Amjad in Islamabad, following the meeting.

The party leaders had got together to discuss how they should address some of the major problems of the country.

They agreed that the issues of economic downslide, poor law and order, bad governance and corruption need to be resolved to ensure a better future for Pakistanis.

“If the parties are merged, they can represent the entire group which we call the ‘third force’,” said Amjad, adding that the PML factions should not be divided, and that the united party would be more effective under Musharraf’s leadership.

“The parties can approach the public, reorganise the entire set-up and contest the next elections as one party.”

The APML leader claimed that the current government has failed to deliver and that the present political system is being controlled, supported and managed mainly by the defence forces.

“The ruling PML-Nawaz has failed to maintain law and order in the country and has enlisted the help of the armed forces. We think a bigger ‘third force’ should come forward against the Pakistan Peoples Party and the PML-N.”

Amjad said the coalition parties were in the process of formulating a declaration that would highlight the united party’s motto and plans for the country.

He said the ‘third force’ would focus on development projects in the health and education sectors that benefit people at the grassroots level, instead of investing in small, costly projects.

Another meeting of the party leaders and members will be held at the end of this month to finalise the merger, probably by September 28. The PML-Functional, which was not present in the last meeting, is expected to join the next one.

Musharraf is the man!!!!

don't like him in some aspects

like introduction of NRO (where more than 8000 criminals and corrupt officials have been free of their cases)
balochistan unrest
Stock exchange scam
DHA , malik riaz etc
and his implementation of martial law in the country
Most of the institution like nescom , suparco etc came under army so hence lack of Rn D projects

I also appreciate some good things
like media , introduction of dr atta ur rehman , etc

Musharraf gave us HEC, NAB, Local Govts, Freedom of Press and Media and one of the fastest growing economies!
Hope the intelligent people who work for him can gain some power in the upcoming general or LG elections and bring back the prosperous Pakistan of Musharraf era.

traitor? how... oh wait he opened the fight against the terrorists
coward? how oh I see by going across the border into India in 1965 war as a Capt and also into Kargil as a COAS?

what have you managed my brave friend apart from bravely typing this posts?
hmm?

He is a sensible man in many respects, but his political acumen is somewhat lacking imo.

Mush backed an ordinance that allowed his competitors to displace him later and now he's joining forces with the same people that disavowed him in time of need.

These are the same guys sitting in past and present government, only because NRO pardoned them.
They forget who the "azad" media owes its existence to and Pakistan's re-emergence.

Cant say much about futue of his Party though but if Gen. Raheel Sharif started raising his Danda towards Govt. then he has the best Outlook available in the country. For me he is much much better option then PTI because he knows how Governance actually works and also have experience of dealing with the Govt. as well which comes handy at this stage rather then trusting someone who is just talk and present nothing in front of us.
