| A district and sessions court indicted on Saturday the Alliance for the Restoration of Democracy President Makhdoom Javed Hashmi in a high treason case. Mr Hashmi was arrested in October last year when he made public a letter, supposedly sent by armed forces’ personnel, expressing their support for parliamentarians against the policies of President Pervez Musharraf. The letter, which purportedly bore the insignia of the General Headquarters (GHQ), was said to have been received by some parliamentarians at their residences by post and Mr Hashmi had shown it to journalists at a press conference in parliament’s cafeteria and later distributed the letter’s copies among reporters. |
