Pervez Musharraf?s supporters say their leader denied justice
Activists of the All Pakistan Muslim League (APML) gathered outside Pakistan High Commission to “demand justice for Pervez Musharraf” and to register condemnation of the “politically motivated” cases against their leader. Afzal Siddiqui, President APML Overseas, Saeed Bhatti, President APML UK, Asif Shahzad, Adam Gheeasuddin, General Secretary APML UK, Fehmeeda Abbasi, President Women Wing APML UK, Altaf Shahid and others led the protest. They raised slogans in support of the former military ruler and said that Musharraf had brought a lot of development to Pakistan and under him Pakistan earned respect in the world. They claimed that Musharraf’s years in power were a “golden era” for Pakistan and he dealt effectively against terrorism. The protestors said that the verdict delivered by Special Court against Musharraf is unfair. Afzal Siddiqui said that the APML condemned paragraph 66 which contained remarks that Pervez Musharraf’s body is to be dragged and hanged on D-Chowk for three days. He claimed that Musharraf was not given right to a fair trial and the way this trial was initiated and conducted showed that it has always been an exercise of “revenge”. He criticised former chief justice Iftikhar Chaudhry for instructing the government to launch an Article 6 case against Musharraf. He said that it became clear when a Supreme Court judge openly mocked the former president. Siddiqui said: “The political, fabricated and fraudulent nature of the case may also be gauged from the fact that it was hastily concluded without hearing the former president, sentencing him in absentia, restricting the latter from presenting evidence and by aggressively dismissing the noble efforts of the Law Minister and the Attorney General for remedying earlier serious politicised legal shortcomings. The new prosecution team was not even granted the time to study the case.” A petition presented to diplomats at Pakistan High Commission said that holding the constitution in abeyance was not an offence according to the Pakistani constitution in 2007. Only later in 2010 through the 18th amendment, the text of Article 6 was modified to make abeyance of the constitution an offense, it said. The petition thanked Imran Khan’s government “for parting ways with the previous regime and for taking steps to ensure fairness”.It added: “We ask to declare null and void this bizarre Special Court judgment and reject all malicious attempts to label Pervez Musharraf a ‘traitor’. The honourable Pervez Musharraf has fought wars for Pakistan and was the beloved Chief of Pakistan Army. His tenure witnessed unprecedented growth of the Pakistani economy and led to the betterment of the Pakistani people. Pervez Musharraf can never be a traitor.” أكثر... ??????? ??????: Pervez Musharraf?s supporters say their leader denied justice || ??????: ahlam1399 || ??????: اسم منتداك
