I agree with them, but some of the members have credibility problem.

Ex-servicemen call for trying Musharraf for treason

By Our Reporter

RAWALPINDI, May 24: Members of the Ex-Servicemen Society here on Saturday said that President Pervez Musharraf should be tried under Article 6 of the Constitution after being impeached for taking unconstitutional steps.

Thirty members of a working group formed by the organisation met here on Saturday and called for ‘full accountability’ of the president and former prime minister Shaukat Aziz for ruining the national economy.

The meeting was presided over by vice-admiral (retd) Ahmed Tasneem. Other participants included Jamshed Gulzar Kiani, Asad Durrani, Gen (retd) Hamid Gul and Brig (retd) Mehmood.

Gen Gul told Dawn that the organisation had 80,000 members and the working group had urged the coalition government to immediately reinstate the deposed judges.

He said the group had reached the consensus that the president should be tried under Article 6 for taking unconstitutional steps like imposition of emergency on Nov 3, 2007.

He said the group had resolved to support the lawyers’ movement for the restoration and independence of the judiciary.

“We have endorsed the lawyers’ movement in the best national interest,” he said.

He said the society called for setting up an independent election commission because the present one had lost its credibility after it endorsed all unconstitutional actions taken by President Musharraf. “Had there been an independent and credible election commission in October last year, a serving general could not have gotten elected by a parliament twice,” Gen Gul said.

The members of the society, he said, backed the government’s efforts for initiating talks in tribal areas and signing of peace agreements with tribesmen. They insisted that no external pressure should derail the peace process in the tribal area.

The members also demanded immediate release of the detained nuclear scientist, Dr Abdul Qadeer Khan, and said that whereabouts of all ‘missing persons’ should be made public without delay.

Retired General Musharraf should not be given a safe exit and should be imprisoned along with Shortcut and Shujaat. The misery and filth they have put this country in is unprecidented. First time in Pakistan, everything is costing double, while we exported and imported the same goods, benefitted the government backed smugglers.

Stating false “facts” I see.

Actual Fact: Musharraf’s rule saw the lowest inflation rates in 2 decades.

Indeed. The sooner the govt. starts governing the better. Otherwise the Unprecedented Economic Growth seen during the past eight years under the great leadership of President Musharaf will go to waste.

Manipulated figures by shortcut Aziz. Are you trying to say that everything was ok during the 8 years of misrule by the dictator but as soon as the election took place the whole thing nose dived. even you would not believe in such fairy tales. Fact: The misrule and disaster came to light once the previous government left office and now the people of Pakistan are paying a very high price for the unprecedented economic mess by the previous government.

Prove it, or stop posting. Go check inflation rates from other sources as well. I love how you all from the anti-Pakistan group say things without even a single iota of proof.

Being a affiliate and chamcha of a party whose criminal leader calls Pakistan the biggest blunder in the history of mankind is what we refer to as anti-pakistani.

You hate the most anti-terrorist leader Pakistan has ever had in the last 3 decades, so what does that make you?

[Aalsi]

So when are the treason charges against Great President Musharaf coming up in court? Has a case been lodged yet?

[Spock]

Re: Ex-servicemen call for trying Musharraf for treason

You should go back and check to see who created these so called terrorists. Its the same org that Mushrraf was heading for last 10 years. As for rest of you're post, coming from people who believe that creation of Pakistan was the biggest blunder in history of the mankind I take that as a compliment. :)
