No elections without BB: PPPP

Islamabad—"A military dictator has no right to try to change the political landscape of Pakistan." This was said in a statement by Naheed Khan, MNA, the Political Secretary to the former Prime Minister and Chairperson Pakistan Peoples Party, Benazir Bhutto here Thursday, in a reaction to General Musharraf's contention that Benazir Bhutto would not be allowed to contest the next general elections.
Naheed Khan said that no elections can be free, fair and impartial without the participation of the most popular leader of Pakistan, Benazir Bhutto. In the last general elections, the PPP had secured the highest number of the votes which is a clear proof of the popularity of the party led by Benazir Bhutto and no military dictator can ever succeed to stop people from bringing the PPP back in the government and Benazir Bhutto as prime minister the third time, Naheed Khan said.
The political secretary of the Chairperson PPP said that another dictator General Ziaul Haq had also tried to oust the PPP from politics but the people of Pakistan elected the PPP in government despitetorture, lashes and prosecutions meted out to the workers for eleven long years. Now the people of Pakistan would not allow General Musharrafto rule this country any more. People of Pakistan believe in democracy, justice and rule of law whereas General Musharraf violates every principle and ethics taught to the nation by the founder of the nation,Quaid-e-Azam. Naheed Khan said that the PPP would not allow General Musharraf to dictate his terms for the elections scheduled for 2007.
Naheed Khan asked the Chief Election Commissioner to take serious note of the interference by an army Chief into politics. She said that the PPP is demanding free, fair and impartial elections under a consensus government in which all the political parties and individuals are allowed to take part.—Agencies
