Return of the vigilantes: Mush’s posters torn down by Lal Masjid brigade

[Mujahid]

ISLAMABAD: A group of men and women allegedly from Lal Masjid ripped apart the election posters of former president Pervez Musharraf’s party candidate in the federal capital late on Friday.
Sheikh Sajid, a supporter of Musharraf’s All Pakistan Muslim League (APML), said around 20 burqa-clad women and 10 bearded men took off the party’s posters from lampposts in Aabpara Market and ripped them up.

Sajid, who was sitting at the election office of APML candidate Dr Muhammad Amjad, which is also in the market, said the men and women arrived there at around 8:45pm in a pickup truck and a sedan.

“Even the police did not stop them from tearing down the posters,” he said. “How could we party workers have dared to intervene?”

Sajid said the Lal Mosque crowd has not created any trouble at the election office.
Islamabad police officials stationed near Aabpara chowk denied any knowledge of the activity.
However, eyewitness Umar Khan, who sells jewellery and wallets on the sidewalk at the Aabpara market, confirmed the incident. Khan also claimed the people who tore the posters belonged to Lal Masjid and said he supported their “act of vengeance” against Musharraf’s party.

In 2007, Musharraf ordered a military operation at Lal Masjid after its leadership refused to disarm and stop harassing people in the capital. Around 100 people were killed in the operation, including at least 11 soldiers and at least 84 people from the mosque, including the mosque’s deputy cleric and students, who had decided to stay inside the mosque compound after being given the opportunity to peacefully vacate the premises by law enforcement officials, were killed during the operation.

“It is wrong to kill people,” said Khan, who hails from Bajaur Agency but has lived and worked around Aabpara for the past eight years. “Not just Muslims. Even if it they are Hindus or atheists, they have a right to live.”

those ninjas need their burqas and niqabs torn as lack of fresh air has seriously impacted their mental development.

And the chance is that you will find a "Bearded ninja" coming out of this burqa. Remember Maulana Abdul Aziz, trying to flee during Lal Mosque operation in a burqa.
I dont know why SC and other political parties support militants. In a tv program sometime back, Abdul Aziz himself said, that he and Ghazi Abdul Rasheed bring many orphan children from AJK and other areas after 2005 earth quake. Now, is this legal? Do the law permit anyone to take orphan children away and use them as he wish?

What if, many of those girls and boys parents are alive? But these and other such militants kidnapped them in the chaos in the aftermath of earth quack. Brainwashed them and now using them to promote their own vested interests.

Chief Justice should look into these matters also.

In very simple words corrupt, incompetent & terrorist supporting polticians are united against Gen. Musharraf which is a fact & to make the situation worse these bastard politicians pay third party loosers to get their jobs done.

Money speaks & specially when it comes to uneducated people & people who get educated from corrupt Madrisas creat problems for Pakistan & it is because of these people Pakistan suffers.

You all know how all this corrupt things work.

There is no leader like Gen. Musharraf, he admits his mistakes, he speaks the truth & he wants to listen the truth.

The lal masjid crowd is tearing down posters in the streets again. These mullahs are the cancer of Pakistan. Intolerance is a disease which is making Pakistan unstable. These people should be arrested in Islamabad.

 

[notsuperstitious]

In a religious state its difficult to discredit and eliminate those who claim to do god's work as any such move will be seen by a large section of population to be against the very raison d'être of the state.

What Pakistan needs now is a massive crackdown on these kind of pests, forget the repercussions, it's needed for the good of Pakistan. These people are holding us back as a nation.
