| Qazi rants against Perv's referendum |
| 2002-03-24 |
Qazi thinks he'd be just the man to warm the Seat of All Power for awhile. His heart condition seems to have cleared up pretty well. You heard it here first. "An interim set-up alone can hold impartial elections in the country. There is no provision for referendum in the constitution. The referendum will be equal to pre-poll rigging,' Qazi said. "Yeah. We don't need no damn' vote. We already know the will of the people, and that's us, cuz we're people, most of us." Speaking at his first public rally after his release, he said the army officers are administered oath that they would not indulge in government affairs and so there is no room for the army chief to become chief executive or president. Qazi said, if Gen Musharraf is interested in becoming president, he should step down as army chief, wait for two years as required by the constitution and then contest presidential elections. That will give Qazi time to rally his troops for their own Putsch, have all his rivals assassinated, and be in position to have Perv shot. If referendum is held, elections would be meaningless, he said and warned they would run a campaign against any such move by Musharraf. He said such campaigns would also be launched against the continuing price-hike, the imposition of new taxes, unemployment, deteriorating law and order situation and other illegal and what he termed anti-people steps being taken by the government. One such protest against the policies of government would he held on March 29, he announced. He doesn't approve of the Treaty of Versailles, either, and when he takes power he will have Pakistan occupy the Rhineland. And he only wants the Sudeten Pakistanis - no Slavs, thank you. |
