The Pakistan Bar Council (PBC)'s former Vice-President Mian Abbas Ahmed demanded on Sunday that political and military leadership of Pakistan should resign for showing negligence in defending the country's borders and air space during US attack in Abbottabad to kill Osama bin Laden on May 2.
In a statement, PBC former Vice-Chairman said that the failure of the political and military leadership to defend Pakistan's sovereignty had struck mind of every countryman, creating suspicion regarding solidarity and sovereignty of the country which what they believed now appeared to be at the mercy of American.
The PBC asked the leadership of the country to answer the questions relating to the weakness in security and defence of the country and make the facts public so that the people could know who were responsible for the damage caused to the prestige and sanctity of the territorial limits of Pakistan.
Condemning the US operation in Pakistan, the PBC leader said that political and military leadership would have to tell the nation if there was any secret agreement of the government with the US that emboldened American soldiers to land on Pakistani soil and launch a full-fledged operation. He also regretted that the operation was conducted with gunship helicopters near the Military Academy Kakool and the government of Pakistan was totally silent in this regard. He demanded revising the foreign policy of the country towards the US, saying that it was result of the feeble foreign policy of Pakistan that made it easy for the American soldiers to violate the air space of Pakistan and conduct operation under the nose of the Academy.
He said the responsible persons should tender resignation whether it was sitting in government, army or the intelligence agencies because it is a crime against the state and such persons should not be allowed to continue their jobs anymore in the larger interests of the defence of the motherland.
