Dear members of the list, Assalamu Alaikum.Please see the opposition viewpoint on Pakistan's recent local bodies election. Shah Abdul Hannan   Qazi for direct election of Nazims in LB polls Lahore, Oct 7: MMA president and ameer of Jamaat-e-Islami Pakistan Qazi Hussain Ahmed has demanded that local bodies’ elections should be held on party basis and district nazims should be elected through direct votes of the people otherwise corrupt practices and the government’s influence could not be contained in the LB elections, say a press release. Giving Jumma sermon at Jamia Mosque Markaz-e-Islami Peshawar Qazi Hussain Ahmed said that non-party local bodies’ elections in the country were basically a ploy to divide and disintegrate nation. He said General Pervez Musharraf is conspiring against its own people in order to prolong his unconstitutional rule in the country. By disqualifying the graduates of deeni madaris, he said, the government paved the way for contesting the elections of corrupt and plunderers. He said landlords and smugglers have won the elections by ruthlessly spending money and doing massive horse-trading. The product of rigging and horse-trading can not serve the nation as they will try to recover the money which they spent on elections instead of paying attention to solve the gross root problems faced by common man in the street. Qazi Hussain Ahmed said on the one hand Gen Pervez Musharraf is befriending India and Tel Aviv while on the other he has waged open war against its own people and tribes in the bordering areas of Pakistan. He said forces of evil are out to attack Pakistan and Islam in the leadership of America. They, he said, are trying to control the resources of Muslims. Only upright and capable leadership can steer the country out from the present messed up situation. The masses have seen the real face of Gen Musharraf and they will soon realign their ranks to start a forceful drive against him, the press release concluded *************************************************************************** {Invite (mankind, O Muhammad ) to the Way of your Lord (i.e. Islam) with wisdom (i.e. with the Divine Inspiration and the Qur'an) and fair preaching, and argue with them in a way that is better. Truly, your Lord knows best who has gone astray from His Path, and He is the Best Aware of those who are guided.} (Holy Quran-16:125) {And who is better in speech than he who [says: "My Lord is Allah (believes in His Oneness)," and then stands straight (acts upon His Order), and] invites (men) to Allah's (Islamic Monotheism), and does righteous deeds, and says: "I am one of the Muslims."} (Holy Quran-41:33) The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "By Allah, if Allah guides one person by you, it is better for you than the best types of camels." [al-Bukhaaree, Muslim] The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)  also said, "Whoever calls to guidance will have a reward similar to the reward of the one who follows him, without the reward of either of them being lessened at all."
