Re: Breaking News: Paramilitary Police clash with Lal Mosque idiots!
After reading this report I am seriously questioning the motives of these “lawyers”
KARACHI, July 4: In reaction to the operation against the administration of Islamabad’s Lal Masjid, the legal fraternity on Wednesday condemned the government and said that instead of killing their own people, the rulers should take action against the Nato forces that repeatedly targeted people in Pakistan.
These views were expressed at a general body meeting of the Karachi Bar Association held at the Shuhada-i-Punjab Hall during a one-hour boycott from court proceedings between 10.30am to 11.30am.
Pakistan Bar Council member Mohammad Yasin Azad, KBA President Iftikhar Javaid Qazi, General-Secretary Naeem Qureshi, World Reforms Commission Chairman Maqbool-ur-Rehman, KBA Managing Committee members Abdul Hafeez Baloch, K.K. Javaid Khan, Saeed Qureshi, and National People’s Lawyers Forum President Mushtaq Ahmed Awan spoke on the occasion.
‘Operation illegal’
The speakers condemned the government for what they said was its illegal operation against the students of Lal Masjid and said the government had aggravated the issue.
Referring to the government’s statement about maintaining its writ, the speakers said the powers that be should not maintain their writ by killing their own people, but should instead move against the Nato forces which, in violation of international rules, were targeting people on Pakistani soil.
About the operations in Balochistan, South Waziristan, Wana and other tribal agencies, they alleged President Pervez Musharraf was serving the interests of Zionist forces in order to get their support for prolonging his ‘unconstitutional tenure.’
They warned that if the government did not stop the military operations, the people would come to the streets against the army. This, they said, would be the most unfortunate day in the history of the country.
