Greetings to army a wrong message to people: ANP
Tuesday, 13 Oct, 2009 When pointed out that the NWFP’s ANP chief minister was also among those who sent the greetings, he said Amir Haider Hoti had crossed his limits and the issue would be raised in the party’s central working committee. –APP/ File photo Pakistan
Jets pound militant hideouts in South Waziristan LAHORE: Critical of the greetings being sent to the army chief for a ‘successful’ operation against the terrorists who attacked the GHQ, Awami National Party Secretary-General Ehsan Wyne cautions that such gestures are sending wrong signals to political activists and they are holding pro-army rallies.
‘The first phase to invite martial law is exchange of greetings between politicians and army generals with pro-army rallies being the next one. And the final phase will be when the people losing their lives for 10-kilo cheap wheat flour will take to streets to demand wrapping up of the inefficient system,’ he warned.
Wyne said the attack was a matter of concern and shame for the security agencies but the incident was being celebrated as if an enemy state had been conquered.
He demanded that at least interior minister Rehman Malik must resign for his failure to check the attack despite being reportedly informed of its likelihood a couple of months ago.
When pointed out that the NWFP’s ANP chief minister was also among those who sent the greetings, he said Amir Haider Hoti had crossed his limits and the issue would be raised in the party’s central working committee.
He said through greetings sent by President Asif Ali Zardari and Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani the ruling party was attempting to control the damage it suffered after ‘losing its face’ on Kerry-Lugar bill issue while the opposition was paying back for the favour it had received from the establishment in the reinstatement of Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry.
To a question about ANP’s support for former army dictator Gen Pervez Musharraf, he admitted that the party committed the mistake. ‘But it was in favour of his (Musharraf’s) seven-point agenda and not of his person.’
