Hundreds of activists of the PPP and Asif Zardari release committee (AZRC) on Friday celebrated the acquittal of Asif Zardari in Steel Mills reference by the Lahore High Court's Accountability Bench.
Sweetmeat was distributed at Chowk Double Phatak here and in Muzaffarabad. Special prayers were offered in the local Al-Kausar mosque.
Later addressing a meeting, the PPP and Asif Zardari Rihai Committee leaders Salim-ur-Rehman Mayo, central chief organiser of AZRC Mirza Nazir Baig, provincial chief Khurshid Ahmed Khan and other leaders said: "Asif Zardari is languishing in prison for the last eight years without committing any crime." His acquittal in the Pakistan Steel Mills case, they said had exposed the nefarious designs of the present government.
They further said that former prime minister Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain had already declared him innocent in the drug case.
They said that General Pervez Musharraf should resign as he has failed to provide jobs even to doctors, engineers, lecturers and other professionals.
They said: "Zardari is a prisoner of conscience and he will soon be released, while Benazir Bhutto will come back home before February 2005."
Salim-ur-Rehman Mayo, Chief Organiser of Asif Zardari Release Committee Pakistan, threatened to launch a countrywide agitation and protests in all major cities of the country if Zardari was not released during the current month.
