Musharraf activities

Published November 20, 2008

ACCORDING to press reports, former president Pervez Musharraf is frequently visiting Karachi and is engaged in politics.

The politicians who still lend support to him and defend his politics are in limelight and making political statements after meeting him.

According to our Constitution, once a president retires, he is not eligible for entering politics or holding any government post.

The statements of Pir Pagara and Shaikh Rasheed in newspapers the other day show that manoeuvring is going behind the scene to topple the present setup by sowing discord among the masses.

It is for the rulers, in their own interest, to take immediate steps to put an end to these activities of the former president and his companions and ensure that he remained within the orbit of the Constitution.
