NOWSHERA, Oct 3 (Online):
Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal President Qazi Hussain Ahmad has predicted that Islamic revolution is on the offing soon after Eid-ul-Fitr.
Addressing the congregation of councilors and nazims , which included component groups of Al-Khidmat group , Progressive groups , and the Nowshera Councilors Ittehad group , he said the country would very soon rid of the shameful American culture of vulgarity , unemployment, graft and bribery, lawlessness prevailing under the Musharraf regime.
The convention was attended by 425 elected male and female councilors , nazims , vice nazims and members of minority LB representatives.
Qazi Sahib severely castigated President Musharraf's regime , which had failed to supply such basic amenities as clean , filtered , drinkable water, education ,health, and employment opportunities to the people. He said that the President was rather involved in all kinds of debauchery as practiced by his American masters.
He said continuous deteriorating situation of the country was forcing the closure of already functional industry rather than adding to new investment. Thousands of industrial related employees are facing a dark uncertain future and President Musharraf is totally misguiding the country about a bright future.
He said that unless all the nation did not raise a collective war against the current regime and rise in unison against its destructive policies , the people would not prosper.
He also denied the notion that winning of LB Polls was the aim and ultimate goal of our polity , but we endeavor to change the overall oppressive and detrimental system prevailing in the country.
He expressed great satisfaction about the fact that due to the current results of the LB Polls , the MMA polity was in a much better position to serve the District of Nowshera.

FOFL.
I'm going to ask hubby if he wants me to sing him to sleep.
LOLOL!
Well, guess you now know the old maid granny.
Sure, I can sing and reach all the notes in the scale, but
people object to me singing them all in one word.
My singing would drive a man away......fast.
Only God has ever listened to me sing, and he more than likely has golden ear-plugs.
