LAHORE, Feb 4: Jamaat-e-Islami ameer and MMA president Qazi Hussain Ahmad has warned that country cannot survive Nov.3, 2007 like situation again and there is no room either for any other general to take over since the nation will never accept any further martial law.

He was addressing annual convention of Islami Jamiat Talibat, says a press release by JI information department on Monday. Qazi said the welcome signs given by new COAS when he assured the nation of non-interfere of military in politics and banned army officers from meeting politicians, has now been put under a question mark by caretaker information minister Nisar Memon after he threatened of a Nov. 3 like situation.

Qazi said Gen Musharraf took all illegal decisions on Nov 3 in his capacity as COAS and such a situation can only be created again by the COAS. Qazi demanded of the Army leadership and army spokesman to clarify as to how this statement should be perceived and on whose behest Nisar Memon gave such a statement. Qazi warned that if such a situation was created against it would widen the increasing gulf between army and people, creating serious danger of a civil war in the country.

Qazi held the previous and present rulers responsible for the power and gas loadshedding besides the atta crisis, accusing them of serving only personal interests and ignoring public welfare and avoiding to make future plans for the people. Qazi expressed sorrow that a small minority of Colonist-trained military and civil bureaucracy has usurped all national resources and made the nation slave of its west dictated policies. He said the bureaucracy is removing national wealth abroad by snatching the share of the poor people.

He also warned that fake elections are being staged to keep the people slave of the cruel system. He said APDM has boycotted the elections to change the cruel system and electoral process since without first ridding the country of the representatives of the exploitative classes no free and fair elections are possible.

Qazi also condemned Gen Musahrraf for meeting with Israeli defence minister at a time when Israel is unleashing fresh offensives against Palestinians, since his meeting amounted to add insult to their injuries. He said Gen Musharraf indicated to act again as American ally against Muslim nation by discussing Iranian nuclear program with the Israeli minister.
