All Pakistan Muslim League (APML) chief and former president General Pervez Musharraf (retd), senior vice president Major-General Rashid Qureshi (retd) and secretary general Dr Amjid said on Sunday that involving the Army in the ongoing political tussle in the country was unfortunate. In their joint statement, they said the current government was bent upon defaming the Army to hide its own failures. They said all the parties in the Parliament have been failed to resolve the issues amicably.
The APML leaders condemned the killing of son of Ghulam Abbas Kamili and termed it a nefarious effort to spread sectarian hatred in the country at a time when operation Zarb-e-Azb by the Pakistan Army is continuing in North Waziristan. They urged people from all schools of thought to maintain their unity and foil the plan of the enemy to create chaos in the country and damage the operation against terrorists.
The statement said the government was destroying the country's economy through its inefficiency at a time when the country is confronted with the calamity of floods. It said for the first time in the country's history two political parties are staging sit-ins in Islamabad while the government has failed to resolve the issue politically.
The APML leaders said no concrete measures have been taken in Parliament to resolve the issue of sit-ins. They asked the government to send back the Punjab and Azad Kashmir Police to their respective areas so that they could play their role in mitigating the miseries of people in the flood situation.
Pervez Musharraf directed all the party activists to help the flood-affected people.
