Exiled leaders should be allowed to return: Jamali
JACOBABAD, Oct 29: Former prime minister Mir Zafarullah Khan Jamali has said he is bound by the decision of the president and the party leadership, but he will ask President Gen Pervez Musharraf to allow exiled political leaders to return to the country.
He was talking to reporters at the Jamali House in Rojhan Jamali on Sunday. Mr Jamali said there were no restrictions on the People’s Party Parliamentarians and the Pakistan Muslim League-N to participate in the coming general election.
He said he could not attend a meeting of the PML held in Islamabad under President Gen Musharraf due to some compulsion.
He said he had been informing President Gen Musharraf and PML chief Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain about the problems of Balochistan and now it was up to them to look into it.
Mr Jamali said he was not retiring from politics and he would contest the coming election. He gave an assurance that the 2007 election would be held in a fair and transparent manner. He said a care-taker government would be set up before the polls.
