Charged up over Bajaur bombing event, opposition Senator Ibrahim has urged Army Corps Commanders to revolt against President General Pervez Musharraf for the "holy cause" of saving Pakistan from the atrocities of what another member called an evil regime of the United States.
"He (Musharraf) has spotted Pakistan between devil and deep sea; he has turned the biggest security risk (for Pakistan)...now it is up to you (Corps Commanders) to decide how to save the country from him," Ibrahim said on Monday on a motion moved last Friday to hold debate on "killing of 80 teenaged students" in an air strike on a seminary in Bajaur, and a suicidal attack at a military training facility in Dargai.
He said that the decision of using force in the tribal areas bordering Afghanistan was the worse among the (evil) things Musharraf had done at the behest of "his foreign masters" and the country would have to pay a huge price for it.
"The biggest mistake he has made is the use of military might against those tribesmen who have always been the custodians of the country's western frontiers," he added.
But Senate Deputy Chairman Jan Muhammad Jamali did not like his asking corps commanders to rise for a revolt. "The change always comes through elections. It is not the duty of the commanders," he promptly interrupted Ibrahim.
PML-N Senator Sadia Abassi said Bush (US President) administration was an evil regime and asked Pakistan Army not to follow the agenda being dictated by what she called most cruel power the world had ever seen after West Germany.
Earlier when the house resumed the debate, many senators from opposition called for a parliamentary probe into the incident that he doubted was carried out by US helicopters stationed in Afghanistan.
Interior Minister Aftab Sherpao is likely to wind the debate when the house would once again resume it on Tuesday.
