Fazlur Rehman rips Perv
  • Jamiat Ulem-i-Islam (JUI) Amir Maulana Fazlur Rehman has flayed the proposed presidential referendum, and termed it an unconstitutional step to remain in power. He said that through the so-called referendum, present rulers were trying to suspend all the democratic process and political activities in the country.
    No surprise there. Fazl is Binny's pal and Perv actually did jug him when the riots got out of hand, at least for a little while...
    The Maulana said Musharraf's plan of holding a referendum was aimed at legitimizing his stay in the presidential office, and it had proved his disinterest in restoring real democracy in the country.
    Sounds good until you get Fazl discussing what "real democracy" actually is...
    JUI chief said that on the one hand General Musharaf was criticizing Ayub Khan and Ziaul Haq while on the other he was seeking cooperation from their sons- Gohar Ayub khan and Ejazul Haq. It was sufficient to prove that he had adopted dual policies.
    This is Pakistan we're talking about. Everybody has "dual policies." It's called following the main chance.
