The Milli Muslim League (MML) is widely believed to be the political front of the banned Jamaatud Dawa and its attempts to register itself or contest by-elections have been thwarted at least thrice.

But this feisty bunch refuses to take the hint.

News is that they have finalised 80 candidates for the NA polls and 185 for provincial, and plan on pitting its candidates under the umbrella of a certain Allah-o-Akbar Tehreek (AAT).

In other words, the party formed to serve as cover for a banned organisation (JuD), which itself was a cover for another banned organisation (Lashkar-e-Taiba), has found a new party as cover. Whole lot of covers and fronts here.

Anyway, we may have a thousand disagreements with the MML and what it stands for but their fighting spirit deserves something, if not praise.
