LAHORE, Apr 4: Jamaat-e-Islami ameer and MMA president
Qazi Hussain Ahmad has reminded all the parties of the present
government that they got votes from the nation on the promise of
restoring the judges illegally sacked by Gen Musharraf. "If the
judges were not restored within one month, then they will not be
restored in the next five years and it will be a great injustice and
violation of promise with the nation," he said while replying to
newsmen queries and addressing the General Council meeting of
National Labor Federation at Mansoorah on Friday.
Qazi said all the opposition parties during their election campaign
had promised that they would hold the then ruling parties
accountable for the May 12 massacre in Karachi. "But now PPP and MQM
have announced to forgive each other. Can somebody tell where the
victims of May 12 massacre should go now to seek justice," he said.
Qazi said even PPP demanded investigation into May 12 mayhem in
Karachi and also announced in London APC that no party would join
hands with MQM, but it was strange the party has now joined hands
with the same party. He said now who would hold the culprits of May
12 accountable, he asked.
Qazi said the government must restore the judges sacked by Gen
Musharraf, and also restore the decision of seven judges of the
supreme court who declared null and void Gen Musharraf's action on
Nov 2, 07.
Referring to the statement of Defence Minister Chaudhri Ahmad
Mukhtar in support of Gen retd Pervez Musharraf, Qazi Hussain Ahmad
said it showed that PPP had entered into a secret deal with Gen
Musharraf and now PPPP had replaced PML-Q as his ally. He warned
that unless supreme judiciary and media is not were not made
independent, no other liberties could have been achieved.
He said most of the political parties in the country were occupied
by feudal lords and capitalists who were practicing the American
agenda and wanted to enforce the same in the country. He urged upon
the workers community to join hands for launching a decisive
struggle to rid the country of the American agenda being implemented
by the feudals and capitalists.
To a question, Qazi said the biggest terrorist in the world was
America itself which has been behind the massacre of millions of
innocent civilians in Palestine, Afghanistan, Iraq and other
countries of the world, and still committing the same terrorism
relentlessly and shamelessly with the help of media and its agent
rulers in the Muslim world. Qazi emphasized that it was beyond the
powers of Pakistan Army to establish peace in tribal areas of
Pakistan, Swat and balochistan, since this objective could only be
achieved through peaceful dialogue. He said the situation worsened
only because Gen Musharraf brought the American inside our
territories, adding that Gen Musharraf is not only deceiving the
America but also collecting money for himself by throwing Pakistani
people into deep kinds of trouble. He expressed sorrow that Gen
Musharraf had subjugated Pakistan's independence, sovereignty and
unity to the American administration. He warned that Pakistan could
not regain its status as independent sovereign state unless its
foreign, internal and defense policies were made according to
country's own interests.
To another question, Qazi said his party would continue to review
the policies and measures of the present rulers, adding that people
of Pakistan would never tolerate if rulers' policies were found
against national interests.
To a question about Kashmir, Qazi said the Kashmiri leaders visiting
Pakistan these days were not genuine legitimate representatives of
Kashmiri people, adding that genuine representatives of Kashmiris
were Syed Ali Gilani. He also urged upon All Parties Hurriyet
Conference leadership that they should get united and demand solving
Kashmir issue according to UN resolutions and Kashmiris' genuine
leadership must be included in negotiations at every level.
