Musharraf weakened Kashmir cause: PML

Published January 14, 2002

ISLAMABAD, Jan 13: Secretary General of Pakistan Muslim League Saranjam Khan has said that Gen Pervez Musharraf had strengthened the weak and anaemic case of the terrorist state of India by succumbing to her unjust demands in his speech to the nation.

In a press statement issued here on Sunday the PML leader said he (Musharraf) had indirectly sold out freedom of Kashmir to the terrorist state of India. He said the decisions taken under pressure do no good to the nations except for damaging their vital interests and throwing them in a state of despair and despondency.

He stated that the fresh quantum of powers to the police in connection with the mosques and the religious institutions would open another door for police to black mail people.
