| Those who handed over Aafia to US be punished: Imran |
| 2010-02-10 |
| [Dawn] The Pakistani authorities who had handed over Dr Aafia to US government must be brought to justice. This was demanded by Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf chairman Imran Khan while addressing a worker's convention at Zafarwal on Monday. Khan alleged Pakistani intelligence agencies had handed over Dr Aafia to Americans, along with her three children and two of them died of torture in Afghan jails controlled by US authorities. He said any adverse verdict by an American court in Dr Aafia's case would increase hatred against the US and might enhance terrorism. Khan said after achieving freedom for the judiciary, the media and people should strive to make the Election Commission of Pakistan a free, transparent and independent institution to get rid of poll rigging. He said if there were free and fair elections his party would bring a democratic revolution in Pakistan and ensure justice for all. Khan lashed out at the government for what he called sheer wastage of public money on luxuries and foreign tours. He said it was deplorable that tax defaulters were sitting in the assemblies while the poor were paying taxes. He alleged the government allowed Americans to kill Pakistani people in drone attacks only for money which was unjust. PTI provincial president Ahsan Rasheed, secretary general Raja Javaid, central vice-president Shaid Zulfiqar, provincial information secretary Naveed Ahmed, and district president Rana Lal Badsha also spoke. |
