Abdul Rashid Ghazi, deputy prayer leader of Lal Masjid, claimed on Monday that some generals had decided to impose emergency in Pakistan, but he did not disclose the source of his information. “The CJP issue has become a nightmare for the government. Some generals have decided to impose emergency in the country to defuse the tension,” Ghazi told a press conference. He claimed that in a recent meeting approved by President Pervez Musharraf, the generals had decided to impose emergency in Pakistan on the pretext of increasing militancy in the country. Ghazi said Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz had not ruled out imposition of emergency in his recent statement. He claimed that a pro-US government would be set up after imposition of the emergency.
