Abstract

Islam has always an important role in the Political Dynamics of the country. At one side it was used as the tool of reconciliation and national integration on the other hand it was used to counter the threats of regionalism. Due to religious sentiments among the population several Religious Political Parties (RPPs) emerged on the political landscape of the country, with different ideological foundations. Although these religious political parties have deep penetration among the masses but only one time they got substantial success in electoral politics. In elections of 2002 these parties contest elections as an alliance having the name of MMA. The MMA performed very dynamic and significant role in Parliament that made bottomless effects on the political history of the country.
