Protesters gather at Musharraf political rally
Saturday, 02 Oct, 2010
LONDON: Protesters are gathering in a British city ahead of a political rally to be addressed by former Pakistan president Pervez Musharraf.
The ex-military ruler is launching a new political party, called the All Pakistan Muslim League. He is due to address a rally of around 1,500 people in Birmingham on Saturday.
The Islamist political organization Hizb ut-Tahrir gathered outside the rally venue, holding banners that read ''Pakistan needs an accountable ruler.''
Group spokesman Taji Mustafa says the protesters want to show that Musharraf fuelled divisions within Pakistan and that the country needs new leadership that is not subordinate to the US.
