| Qazi sez country's future not safe |
| 2002-05-13 |
| Jamaat-i-Islami chief, Qazi Hussain Ahmad, has said that the future of the country is not safe in the hands of Gen Pervez Musharraf, and now it is the collective responsibility of the nation to save the country from anarchy. He warned that if general elections were rigged, there would be a mass movement and like Bhutto, Gen Pervez Musharraf would not be able to remain in power. They're "rigged" because he's not going to get more than 10 percent of the vote. Qazi sounds like he wants a coup by somebody more to his liking... Addressing gatherings of party workers on Sunday in JI's District Central, West and East, Qazi sahib pointed out that military dictators had neither delivered to the country before nor one could they expect any betterment in the future. Nope. Rulers need to be pious men holy men, with turbans. The JI chief announced that his party would participate in the elections under the banner of Muttahida Majlis-i-Amal and its manifesto, and would implement the recommendation of the Islamic Ideological Council. "Get those women under burkas. Chop those heads off. We gotta get this khalifate goin'..." Referring to the recent suicide bombing incident, he said that America was making excuses by linking Karachi's terrorism with Al-Qaeda and the presence of Osama Bin Laden in tribal areas. It was zeroing in on Pakistan through Pervez Musharraf and others by throwing oppressed Muslims before the western wolves. Better to leave them in the care of |
