My son was not a jihadi, says Janjua's father
Missing social activist Masood Ahmed Janjuas father Colonel Raja Ali Muhammad has said that his son had never admitted to having any links with jihadi outfits. In a statement on Sunday, Muhammad said that he had met with President General Pervez Musharraf to explain his sons innocence. He said he and the president both belonged to Special Services Group of the army and he was very grateful for the presidents promised help.The president specially mentioned me at the Seerat Conference. On May 31, President General Pervez Musharrafs military secretary told me that the government had sent Masoods picture to various parts of the country. He said that a person had seen Masood with a group of people. The secretary would not tell me where Masood had been spotted. Muhammad said that he knew the government had the power to recover a person if he is abducted by an organisation or is imprisoned anywhere. It is the governments responsibility to recover any such person, he added. My daughter-in-law and I will continue searching for my son. We expect that the government will help us to the fullest in this search. He said that Amna, Masood Janjuas wife, was continuing her search with such courage that many other families of missing persons had joined her. He praised the media for giving complete coverage of this issue of fundamental human rights. He said it was fortunate the chief justice took notice of Masoods mysterious disappearance on December 5, 2005. Posted by: Fred 2007-04-09 |
