Responding to allegations against Musharraf including violation of constitution, dozens of killings at Lal Masjid and Jamia Hafsa, Benazir Bhutto and Nawab Akbar Bugti's assassination, and killings of over 40 people in Karachi on May 12, 2007, the party leader said he knew such questions would be asked as they had faced the same questions from people at different places. He added that all accusations would be answered and defended with documentary proofs at an appropriate time.
Saif remarked that everybody has the right to participate in the politics of the country.
He said that during their visit to Karachi they have held meetings with people belonging to different sections of the society including women, minorities, representatives of labourers and political parties, adding that all of them have assured of their full support.
Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf's former leader Zubair Khan, Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid's (PML-Q) Anwar Warsi and some persons from the Pakistan Qaumi Movement who joined the APML were also present on the occasion.
