ARD plans 'Quick March': Maimoona Hashmi

25 Feb, 2004

Maimoona Javed Hashmi has said: "There will be a 'Quick March' next month and the final round of ARD's protest during March would bring good changes in the country's politics."
ARD's March 7 public meeting, she said "will prove the last nail in the coffin of the present undemocratic government."
The daughter of the acting PML(N) leader Javed Hashmi was addressing a public meeting of the PML (N) workers of Multan division here on Tuesday.
She said that Javed Hashmi would be released with the support of masses and "we will not bargain on principles with the military adventurists, who hatched a conspiracy to remove an elected prime minister and later forcibly exiled him from the homeland."
Sardar Zulfikar Ali Khan Khosa, provincial chief of the PML (N), addressing the meeting, said that the next two months would be very crucial for the present regime, headed by General Pervez Musharraf.
He said that people had rejected all steps taken by the present regime and did not accept Dr Abdul Qadeer Khan's confession, which was recorded at gunpoint to defame him and Pakistan.
"All component parties of the ARD will take part in the March 7th rally," Khosa said, adding, "after it, a series of public meetings will be organised to draw the people's attention towards the real issues, like nuclear capability, atomic scientists, Kashmir, Indo-Pak peace talks."
Khosa dispelled the impression that there was a rift among the workers and office-bearers of the Muslim League (N) or the component parties of ARD and said that 'all are united on one point - to oust General Pervez Musharraf'.
He said that such rumours were being spread by the disinformation cell of the government.
