Former city nazim Niamatullah Khan on Saturday filed an objection to the returning officer (RO) at the city court over the nomination papers of Pervez Musharraf who is an election hopeful for NA-250 in the coming general election.
According to a local newspaper, Niamatullah’s aide and long time associate, Rashid Qureshi, said: “We are objecting over the fact that Musharraf violated the constitution twice during his rule, sacked the chief justice and is answerable in the Bugti murder case and the Lal Masjid operation. How can such a man contest in the election?”
Qureshi, who was outside the city court at the time, said anyone who violated the constitution was a “traitor” and that it was enough cause to reject his Musharraf’s nomination papers.
It is pertinent to mention that Niamatullah is also contesting election from the same constituency in Karachi as Musharraf. He would be contesting on a Jamaat-i-Islami ticket.
Niamatullah was the mayor of Karachi between 2001 to 2005.
IN SHA ALLAH NO ONE CAN STOP MUSHARRAF FROM CONTESTING THE ELECTION
Hum bohat ehsan framosh he.ache leaders ki qadar nahi karte.change bohat must he.jiye musharaf.
Musharraf is a 1000 times more patriotic than any of these other clowns running for office. Compare his tenure to anyone else's.
Musharaf is hundred percent patriotic but absolutely unable, non politician no understandings of political stage etc but he has a full right to take part in the election as others looters and thieves of the national Treasures.
You have no idea what you are talking about,Mushy is not only politically smart,he's got b**a**l**l**s to stand up to anyone,sure he made mistakes but unlike anyone in the history of Pakistani politics,he admitted his mistakes.And he's got the army on his side,although I don't think he will win more then a seat or two(too bad)
I am shocked with comments above on praising Musharaf, have you forgotten NRO, this guy brought all the crooks and villains back into the country, how is that being patriotic?.
