People are demanding Musharraf's trial: Ahsan

11 Aug, 2008

The charge-sheet against President Pervez Musharraf would be spread on hundreds of pages as he had been involved in many acts of constitutional violations and damaging image of the country, Federal Minister for Education and PML-N Information Secretary Ahsan Iqbal said on Sunday.
"We are receiving hundreds of e-mails and short mobile messages (sms) for support in preparation of charge-sheet as public from all over the country is demanding for trial of Pervez Musharraf," Ahsan Iqbal told media persons after meeting of the joint PPP-PML (N) committee here.
He said the President pushed country into grave crisis and his biggest offense was to disgrace rule of law in the country. No dictator in the world had ever attacked the judiciary as did Pervez Musharraf on November 3, he added.
President disputed role of national institutions to prolong his dictatorship and created political and constitutional destabilisation in the country. Now he (President) is propagating that nuclear assets of the country would become vulnerable after his removal, but Ahsan Iqbal said the propaganda is baseless as nuclear assets of Pakistan are not in the hand of any individual rather under the strong command and control authority. Impeachment of Pervez Musharraf is not issue of ruling coalition only but it is a national level issue, which is evident from recent survey indicating that more than 68 percent people demand his removal, the PML leader observed.
