Muttahida wants PML leadership punished

By Our Staff Reporter

KARACHI, Oct 25: The Muttahida Qaumi Movement's Coordination Committee has said Nawaz Sharif and his cronies by abusing the Constitution has proved that the Muslim League is no more the party of the founders of Pakistan, but it has turned into a party of anti-Pakistan and anti-people elements.

The committee members, in a statement, have asked those PML elements who claimed that their party is defender of the solidarity of Pakistan, where were they when Nawaz Sharif and his cronies had been storming the pillars of the state, including the Supreme Court, and were endangering national security by usurping the constitutional, democratic and legal rights of smaller provinces, particularly of Sindh.

They said Nawaz Sharif and his cronies in their lust for power had gone so blind that "they got veteran intellectual Hakim Said killed," and then on the basis of his assassination unleashed extrajudicial killings in urban Sindh, and the third largest political party of the country, the MQM, was made the target of the state-sponsored terrorism.

The misdeeds and anti-state steps of the PML leadership should be fully exposed, because leniency would be tantamount to enmity with the nation and the country, they maintained.
