The Shuhada Foundation (SF) has announced making former prime minister Shaukat Aziz, former interior minister Aftab Ahmad Khan Sherpao, former defence minister and secretaries respondents in the case registered against former president Pervez Musharraf with reference to the Lal Masjid operation.

SF spokesman Hafiz Ehtesham Ahmad said in a statement that Haroonur Rashid, son of Abdul Rashid Ghazi, would nominate these people as accused in his statement and the SF had also given an application to the Islamabad IG for preventing the former president from proceeding abroad and non-cooperation on the part of police.

Ahmad voiced apprehension that the police was working in favour of Musharraf and it would provide the former president a full fledged opportunity in connection with acceptance of his bail plea. “The police is not ready to ascertain any evidence from us,” he added.

Justice Noorul Haq Qureshi of the Islamabad High Court in clear terms gave order for registration of case against Musharraf on July 12 on the application filed by Haroon, but no case has been registered.

The Aabpara Police SHO registered a case against Musharraf under sections 302 and 109 due to the filing of contempt of court application by Haroon against the police.

“Per directives of SP Jamil Hashmi, we along with Haroonur Rashid Ghazi reached Aabpara police station to record our statement on October 14, against Musharraf in the Lal Masjid operation case, but the policeman deployed at the main gate of the police station did not allow us to enter,” the SF spokesman said.

“The SHO moved out of the police station instead of recording out statement,” he said.

He warned that if Musharraf was granted bail in the case and he fled the country, the responsibility would rest with the five-member investigation team formed under DIG Khalid Khattak.

  1. Pakistan Govt. should make arrangements through Interpol to arrest the culprits Shaukat Aziz and MQMs Altaf Hussain , both are hiding in England for a long time .

  2. Shaukat Aziz was the worst PM of Pakistan. All the three PMs of Musharraf were a disaster but certainly Jamali was the best among the three hand picked head of the government.
    Short cut Aziz was a total drama totally plastic and CV PM, one meeting and it became evident, he was able to be-fool Musharraf reflects poorly on the ability of the dictator.
    Both Lal Masjid and PSM were total disasters and Short Cut Aziz must face accountability to stop this charade of imported PMs.

  3. Lal Masjid was shored up as a fortress for the insurgents who took up the arms against the State. It was big drama of the rightist flank of our politics. They were miscreants and had revolted against the State, creating state within the state. Musharaaf took the righ decision to act in the interest of the State. We must appreciate him on his stance in the case.

    ShaukatAziz must be made a party to this important case to bring out the facts . If these people were involved in any manner, they sould be investigated and brought to justice. It seems to be unsolved mystery. Musharaaf hasbeen wrongly implicated. He will be honorably exonerated. It is just a political drama for the consumption of feel good crowd.

  4. Shaukat Aziz should be arrested along with Chaudhary Shujaat Hussain, the corrupt leader who was the mastermind of Lal Masjid Operation.

  5. We have certainly turned into a collective lynch mob. The Operation against Lal Masjid, its legalities and justification is NOT under litigation. It cannot be. The action by the Army in aid of civil power cannot be challanged in any court of law. This case is a civil suit in which the Burqa Mulla and his cohorts have accused the then President of killing his brother, mother etc etc and should be viewed as such only. Our trigger happy electronic media and the naive politicians have hijacked the issue for a media trial in talk shows. The onus to prove his contention remains on the Burqa Mulla. No explanations are either required or necessary.

  6. This is called traversity of Justice.It can only happen when PML N and Nawaz is in power.Lal Masjid had become haven for terrorists.Aziz the notorious BURQA man who abandoned his followers to escape in burqa,is now being wrongly touted as the sufferer where as he is a terrorist and PML N sympathyses with him. The people and other political groups are quiet which is the sign of a degenerated society. Rest assured fate will catch up with this nation and then there will be no time for redemption.
