Mushaid Hussain Proposes Imran Khan led delegation for repatriation of Dr. Aafia
I salute Mushaid Hussain for rising above the party line but the question is will the gov't coalition led by PPP and PML(N) support him or anyone who favors his point of view. The only thing they could probably ask Obama is use his presidential power and pardon Dr. Aafia.
ISLAMABAD PML-Q Secretary General Mushahid Hussain Sayed has recommended that an All Parties Delegation led by Imran Khan Chairman Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) should be sent to meet US President Barack Hussain Obama to seek reversal of the court verdict against Dr Aafia Siddiqui and make possible her immediate repatriation to Pakistan.
All Parties Delegation led by PTI Chairman Imran Khan should go to the US to meet President Obama and Secretary of State Hilary Clinton to make them aware of the negative effects of the court verdict on PAK-US relations, Mushahid said, Thursday, while addressing the participants of a protest demonstration.
The demo was held against price hike, corruption, Karachi killings and US court verdict against Dr Aafia Siddiqui. Mushahid said that he himself would request Imran to lead the delegation. He said that the court decision against Dr Aafia was against the prescribed norms of justice as there was no proof or forensic evidence against Dr Aafia that she actually fired the weapon nor was there any charge of terrorism.
Let us rise above party lines and an all parties delegation be sent to the USA. Prime Minister should make a policy statement at the floor of the Parliament House over Dr Aafia issue. Moreover, the US ambassador should be summoned at the Foreign Office and be informed that the unjust verdict against Dr Aafia may widen the gulf between the US and Pakistan and if she is not released immediately, the public opinion may go further up against the US, he added.
Referring to the court verdict, Mushahid said that it was political verdict and in the absence of any concrete proof against Dr Aafia, it has proved to be a false case decided on political grounds.
I salute Mushaid Hussain for rising above the party line but the question is will the gov't coalition led by PPP and PML(N) support him or anyone who favors his point of view. The only thing they could probably ask Obama is use his presidential power and pardon Dr. Aafia.
