Nation not to accept any package seeking indemnification for despotic
steps of Musharraf: Wajih
By Saad Saud
RAWALPINDI—Former presidential candidate Justice (Retd) Wajih ud Din has
warned people and lawyers will not accept any constitutional package
aimed at indemnifying illegal, unconstitutional and despotic steps of
president Pervez Musharraf.
“A package is being evolved to indemnify unconstitutional steps of
president Musharraf including ambush on elected government and
judiciary, killings of over 2500 innocent people in Lal Masjid and sell
out of missing persons to US in return for 5000 dollar each. PPP, PML-N
and ANP will be used to achieve this objective”, he alleged this while
addressing Rawalpindi Bar Council here Monday.
He warned if the elected leadership would not come upto the expectation
of the people then the whole nation would come out on roads from their
homes, shops and fields and winds of change will blow within minutes. He
held the results of February, 18 elections immortalized the sacrifices
rendered by the lawyers. . The legal fraternity had created Pakistan
under the leadership of Quaid-e-Azam and now they would perform the
sacred obligation of saving the country too, he added. Chief Justice of
Pakistan was rendered dysfunctional on March, 9, he said adding over
2500 children and women were blown up in bombardment. The present
dictator refused to accept the verdict of Supreme Court regarding
reinstatement of chief justice and deposed 62 judges including chief
justice of Pakistan through PCO, he charged.
It is becoming evident from reports of national and international media
that Pakistan and president Musharraf can not co-exist, he maintained.
In this perspective a package was being worked out through which new
constitutional amendments could be brought, he added. In this respect
reconciliation is being evolved between PPP, PML-N and ANP, he alleged.
Lawyers are being convinced to prevent them from staging protest
processions on March, 7 and 9 , he added. |
