Qazi coaxes politicians to unite against Musharraf
LAHORE: Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) Ameer Qazi Hussain Ahmad on Monday said Gen Musharrafâs address to lawyers in Lahore had proved that democratic system in Pakistan was under threat.
| Yep. Yep. No doubt about it... |
He said Gen Musharraf was spending state resources to buy lawyers loyalties but honest lawyers had resisted all the temptations. He said Musharrafâs insistence to visit the USA in military uniform was making the matter suspicious. Qazi Sahib said the Legal Framework Order (LFO) was not a minor issue, but a matter of national importance. âGen Musharrafâs period as chief executive granted to him by the Supreme Court has passed and now he is an illegal president,â he said, urging parliamentarians to unite to save democratic system in the country and force Musharraf to honour the sovereignty of the parliament. The ailing JI ameer denied that he refused to meet with Chaudhry Shujaat at the Doctorsâ Hospital on Sunday. He said when Mr Shujaat came, he was sleeping and no one woke him up. He said Mr Shujaat was a friend despite political differences.
| Damn. Qazi isn't dead yet... |
