Saifullah Khalid, president of MML stated yesterday that there are no “legal hurdles” to get the party registered and said that it will roll out the manifesto as per the date that has been scheduled
Chief of Jamaat-Ud-Dawah and mastermind of 26/11 attack Hafiz Saeed’s freshly formed political party known as Milli Muslim League (MML) has declared that it will soon roll out its manifesto on 23 March ahead of general elections in Pakistan, that are to be held later this year.
The declaration comes after the Islamabad High Court brushed away the decision of Election Commission of Pakistan to dismiss the application of MML for registration to be a political party last week, as per the media reports.
Further, the ECP had rejected the application of MML to be registered as Saeed’s political party on the recommendation of interior ministry of Pakistan, stating that the “MML has links with banned militant outfits”.
Saifullah Khalid, president of MML stated yesterday that there are no “legal hurdles” to get the party registered and said that it will roll out the manifesto as per the date that has been scheduled.
Giving his comment on the verdict of the court, Khalid said, “This is a victory of the Pakistan ideology. The court has allowed MML to give us a chance to play its role in national politics.”
He further added that the party will field the candidates in all the national and provincial assembly seats in the Pakistan general elections.
It was in the month of January that Saeed’s entities were shifted to the list of illegal organizations from the watch list of Pakistan after the government put forth a presidential rule by making amends in the anti-terrorism act to comprise terrorist groups that are UN-designated and individuals for laundering money for terror acts, that formed the path for the confiscation of JuD and FIF assets. However, even after the ban, the entities were found to be conducting their operations freely in Pakistan.
Moreover, in February, it was confirmed by the Pakistani authorities that the country is making a comeback to the FATF’s “grey list” after a period of around four years.
