LAHORE, Feb 15: Jamaat-e-Islami ameer Qazi Hussain Ahmad has taken exception to President Gen Pervez Musharraf's statements and said president is using threatening language against the nation and wants to use force to bring people to polling stations and stop them from elections boycott against their will.

Qazi said this while delivering Friday sermon at Mansoorah mosque and addressing the participants of central training workshop. Qazi Hussain said it is unbecoming of anyone holding the office of the president to be harsh to his nation and an easy prey for the enemies. Qazi also warned that if PPP and PML-N formed a coalition government with Musharraf's party, the nation would reject it considering as part of a deal. He said APDM would continue its movement after the Feb 18 elections for removing Gen Musharraf, restoring judiciary and establishing a system based on justice.

Qazi said all the parties contesting elections are demanding share in power from the establishment, which is being closely observed by the nation. Qazi said APDM boycotted the elections because it is just a drama staged by Gen Musharraf to legitimize the illegal and unconstitutional measures of Nov 3, 07 and other taken in the last eight years. He said those contesting elections and casting votes would become part of the drama to strengthen the military dictator who played havoc with the national institutions and national security and unity.
