RAWALPINDI, Oct 13: President Pervez Musharraf is not acceptable even without uniform, said Alliance for Restoration of Democracy (ARD) president Makhdoom Javed Hashmi on Monday.

Speaking at a protest rally organized by the cantonment wing of Pakistan Muslim League (Nawaz), he said it was time decide who should run the government.

Mr Hashmi, who is also the acting president of PML-N, said there would be no compromise with the united PML, which he referred to as the Mujrim League.

He said the ARD component parties had embarked on a mass contact campaign according to the wishes of the alliance late leader, Nawabzada Nasrullah Khan.

The mass contact campaign, he said, would give final shape to the protest drive against dictatorship in the country.

The PML-N, Punjab, general secretary, Khawaja Saad Rafiq, said there would be no let up in the combined opposition’s protest against the LFO in the Parliament.

He said President Musharraf, during his four year’s of rule, had irrevocably damaged national dignity and sovereignty.

He said though President Musharraf managed to bring together the united Mujrim League, PML-N continues to be the true representative of the masses and the original PML.

The PML-N members of provincial assembly said the Punjab government had discriminated against them because of their political affiliation by not providing development funds. This is worst example of political revenge, he added.
