Musharraf not entitled to amend constitution: Qazi

FAISALABAD: Jamaat-e-Islami chief Qazi Hussein Ahmed on Sunday said that President Pervez Musharraf was not entitled to amend the Constitution. “Any attempt on his part for that business amounts to contempt of Court,” said Qazi in a press conference here.

Quoting Musharraf’s recent interview to the BBC in which he has said that he would vest powers with him for dissolution of assemblies, removal of the government and tipping of an un-elected person as prime minister, he said, “We will make every humanly possible efforts to foil his dirty designs.” “Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal has devised a counter Musharraf strategy and we will resist him with full force,” he said.His negative thinking has created national crisis in the country, Qazi said. “We did not decline to meet Musharraf. It is he who is trying to laugh off.” —Online
