27 May, 2008

Pakistan Muslim League-N leader Makhdoom Javed Hashmi has said that Pervez Musharraf was no more an army General and he must vacate the army house for Chief of Army Staff General Ashfaq Parvez Kayani.
Addressing a press conference at his residence on Monday afternoon Javed Hashmi said that Pervez Musharraf was plotting to introduce a caretaker Government after dissolving the parliament like Bangladesh for perpetuating his unlawful rule. He said that Pervez Musharraf wanted to stay in power against the wishes of the 160 million Pakistanis.
He warned the coalition partners particularly Asif Ali Zardari "Be careful and Musharraf can use the sword of article 58(2b) which is hanging on our heads." He said, "we would take part in Lawyers long march on June 11 whole heartedly and due protocol would be given to Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry if he arrives at Multan to lead the caravan. Javed Hashmi also warned the US administration not to interfere in the affairs of Pakistan and not to take interest in local politics.
