JI leader call for full-fledge protest on April 13 Lahore, April 9: Jamaat-e-Islami deputy secretary general Mian Maqsood Ahmad has warned that Gen Musharraf's attempts to subjugate judiciary are actually aimed at enslaving the entire nation which must be resisted because judiciary holds pivotal position for the progress and prosperity of a country. In a statement on Monday, Mian Maqsood appealed to all the countrymen to assembly in Islamabad on April 13 in large numbers to protest against Gen Musharraf's dictatorship and for the independence of Judiciary, besides holding such protests all over the country. He said now the nation has risen for the salvation of judiciary from the clutches of an individual and time was not far away when people would get rid of the dictatorship of that individual. He expressed sorrow that violence and cruelty ruled all over the country, while common people were starving even without a single load of bread. Robbers and plunderers, he pointed out, were roaming freely on the streets and entire administration and law enforcing agencies were helpless against them. He said oppressed people have pinned hopes with the judiciary to provide them justice and ensure their rights from the control of the ruling elite. He said it was high time all the people came out on the streets to punish those who tried to humiliate and dishonor the institution of judiciary. |
