ISLAMABAD, Jan 27: The head of a madressah in Islamabad has alleged that President Pervez Musharraf has issued orders to 'finish' him as well as his elder brother, another prominent prayer leader.

"A brigadier has sent a message to me through a third person that President Musharraf has ordered to kill me and my elder brother Maulana Abdul Aziz, the Khateeb of Lal Mosque, as he thinks that I incited the girl students of Madressah Hafsa to protest the demolition of 'unauthorised' mosques in the capital," the head of Jamia Uloom ul Islamia al Fareedia, Maulana Abdul Rashid Ghazi, said on Saturday.

The students of Madressah Hafsa had been occupying a public library for children, situated near the Lal Masjid, since last Sunday to protest against the Capital Development Authority’s campaign against `unauthorised mosques and madressahs’.

"My information is credible," he said in reply to a question about the credibility of his source of information.

The present row could end only, Maulana Ghazi said, if the administration `gives us a written assurance that no more mosques would be razed to the ground’.

Last year an anti-terrorist court had declared Maulana Ghazi and Maulana Aziz as absconders for their alleged involvement in organising a demonstration at Aabpara.
