Lal Masjid operation was ‘Q’ govt’s blunder: Humayun

SAHIWAL – Former federal minister Humayun Akhtar said that the attack on Lal Masjid was a blunder of the PML-Q government. He added that half the country had become Lal Masjid now and America’s 103 drown attacks had killed thousands of people.
Addressing a public meeting at Harappa Railway Station, he said a record development work was done and prices were kept under control during the PML-Q government, but the sitting government had failed to deliver and check the prices of daily-use items. He lamented that the poverty-stricken masses were committing suicide owing to the high prices.
Former foreign minister Khurshid Mahmood Kasuri said he had opposed sending Pakistani forces to Iraq and added that in Raymond Davis case, Pakistan had committed a fatal mistake by releasing him. Former federal minister Saleem Saifullah said the country was under a heavy debt and added that it was the need of the time to construct Kalabag Dam.
