By Our Staff Reporter
LAHORE-In order to denounce the 'shameful deal' between Nawaz Sharif and General Pervez Musharraf, Amir Jamaat-i-Islami, Qazi Hussain Ahmad has announced to observe 'Condemnation Day' on December, 17 (Sunday) and demanded that Chief Executive should immediately resign in an honourable way.
Addressing a Press conference here on Thursday, Qazi Hussain Ahmad said that there is no more justification for Musharraf's rule following the deal. To a question about agitation, he said that protest was not staged for a day saying that justification given by judiciary has been demolished with the development. He said that our campaign will continue till the accomplishment of the objectives.
He urged the people to pressurise the present rulers for their resignation owing to the fact that they have lost the confidence of the masses. To stage protest on the issue, he said that demonstrations will be held throughout the country.
He made it clear that Jamaat is not against the Army saying we are demanding the resignation of Pervez Musharraf keeping in mind the dignity of Army. Qazi said that an interim set-up of honest and able persons should be established for holding fair elections in the country.
Qazi said that the 'shameful deal' between Nawaz Sharif and General Pervez Musharraf has badly tarnished the image of Army and the nation and eliminated the country's sovereignty. It was also mockery of the judicial verdicts.
Criticising General Musharraf, he said that the future of the country is not secure in the hands of present rulers adding that they can compromise on the core issues of CTBT, Kashmir jihad and terrorism following the pressure of US, World Bank and IMF. "The rulers are security risk as they are reluctant to raise our stance on Kashmir," he said and added that the rulers can be forced to take any decision.
Jamaat Amir said that as the rulers are themselves indulged in the plot allotment corruption, they cannot hold the accountability of others. "By sending the biggest criminal abroad, they disgraced the image of the country and nation," he said.
About joining the ARD or other alliance, Qazi said that the leaders of these alliance destroyed the national institutions. " I do not think that ARD still exists," he said. Qazi vowed that his party will directly contact the masses.
