Qazi pleads for mass movement to oust Musharraf Lahore, Nov 6: MMA president and ameer of Jamaat-e-Islami Pakistan Qazi Hussain Ahmad has said if our resignations could bring the dictatorship in this country to end we would have tendered them much earlier. "The real challenge is permanent end to military dictatorship and bringing about a glorious Islamic revolution in the country. This is not possible unless people throw the sitting regime out of power after a peaceful mass movement by coming to streets." Qazi Hussain Ahmad expressed these views while talking to reporters here on Monday during the lunch and prayer break of JI shoora. To a question the JI ameer said entire opposition should sit together and mull various options as to how we can rid the country from military rule. He deplored that Pakistan army is taking the blame of US attack on madrassa in Bajour which killed tender age students. "Those who were committed to memorize Quran were burnt alive by US bombing." He lauded the resignation of Haroon Rashid, a JI MNA from Bajour Agency and termed it a timely decision which is widely felicitated by people of the area. The JI leader warned that MMA can go to any extent if the government tried to bulldoze the select committee women protection bill in the National Assembly on Nov 10. Replying a question about death punishment for detained Iraqi president Saddam Hussain, the JI ameer Qazi Hussain Ahmad said that the decision came from a court set up by USA therefore it is not a justice verdict. He demanded to set up an independent international court where both Saddam and then US leadership of his time should be tried together because Saddam enjoyed full support when former Iraqi president was allegedly killing Kurds and other countrymen who defied his authority. |
