Ahmed Raza Kasuri, one of the counsels of former president General (r) Pervez Musharraf, on Monday said that the federal government’s decision to proceed further in the treason case against his client would open Pandora’s box which could prove to be detrimental for the country. He further said that Article 6 of the Constitution did not apply to his client.
Talking to reports outside the Supreme Court, Kasuri claimed that the response submitted by the federal government showed that it was still hesitant to proceed against the former military ruler as the reply said that the government would decide on the issue after a consultative process involving other political parties.
Kasuri said that the Article 6 did not apply on his client as whatever the former military ruler did was in the interest of the state.
He said that if the court decided that Article 6 was applicable on Musharraf then his client would not be tried alone as according to sub-clause two of the Article 6, all his abettors should also be tried.
“The list of abettors is long and as I said before it will open Pandora’s box,” Kasuri said, adding his client would be absolved of all charges in coming weeks.
Article 6 cannot be applied to one individual, those who supported him are today in his cabinet and some of them have also joined the PML-N. The MMA, the PML-Q supported him. Ager 12.10.1999 kay aqdam ko CJ Sb, validate nahee kartay to 03.11.2007 na hota.Asal case article 6 CJ per hona chaiay.
ALSO IT SHOULD BE APPLIED TO Ahmed Raza Kasuri,
The reason the judges do not want to talk about the 1999 coup is because they validated Musharraf's rule and by doing so they become partners in "crime" and article 6 would also apply to them. Kiayani retires this year and after he is out of the uniform, he will also be included in this case as he was also a part of the coup. Can't wait for that to happen 🙂
