An Anti-Terrorism Court (ATC) in Lahore today acquitted chief of Pakistan's Jamaat-e-Islami, Qazi Hussain Ahmed in connection with a criminal case registered against him by the police for inciting violence during Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee's visit to the city in February 1999. Ahmed was formally acquitted after he appeared before the court on Saturday. His lawyers defended him saying he was innocent and the charges framed against him were baseless and without any concrete proof. A criminal case was registered against him by the then Nawaz Sharif government for staging rallies when Vajpayee undertook his bus journey to Lahore.
Next time Perv mentions a "crackdown" on terrorism, somebody pee on his leg. |
