Army being used by US, says Qazi

Published June 22, 2006

ISLAMABAD, June 21: President Muttahida Majlis-i-Amal Qazi Hussain Ahmad has alleged that Pakistan Army is being used for the interests of America.

Speaking at a convention here on Wednesday, he said bunkers were being demolished and turned into bungalows and Pakistan’s nuclear programme had gone into the US hands.

The MMA chief also took strong exception to the record increase in defence budget and decrease in allocation for education. He said education should had the highest share.
