PESHAWAR, Dec 4: MMA chief Qazi Hussain Ahmad has said that the combined opposition has decided to launch a countrywide movement, against President Pervez Musharraf, who according to him, has become a ‘security risk.’

Talking to reporters at his residence in Nowshera on Sunday, he said President Musharraf had crossed all limits to appease the US and European countries.

He accused the president for not allowing the army to provide relief to quake affected people on the directives of the US secretary of state to pave way for the involvement of Nato forces in relief work.

Gen Musharraf, he said, was following the US’s agenda in the country and for that purpose he had sabotaged all national institutions, including the army.

The army which is required to defend the frontiers of the country had been engaged in politics, which had weakened the defence capabilities of the country. “We neither accept him as president nor as chief of the army staff”, he added.

Nato forces had been brought to the country under a well- orchestrated policy and provided an opportunity to go close to the borders with China and India.

Qazi Hussain said that army generals were unaware of the earthquake for 24 hours, because of the president’s wrong policies. According to him, now the president had hatched a conspiracy to do away with parliamentary system and put in place presidential form of government in the country.

The country, he said, was in grip of lawlessness, unemployment and price-hike, but the government had become a silent spectator.

He wondered that the president took pride in serving the interests of the US and its allies, for which the nation would never forgive him.
