KARACHI, Feb 10: Amir of Jamaat-i-Islami Qazi Hussain Ahmed has said that the spate of terrorism will die down once Gen Pervez Musharraf quits and an elected government takes over in a free and fair election.

Speaking at the Karachi Press Club’s “Meet the Press” programme here on Saturday, he said his party and the other like-minded ones believed in a peaceful struggle for the restoration of the whole system and the constitution to their pre-Oct 1999 position.

Commenting on the Scotland Yard investigators’ report on the assassination of PPP chairperson Benazir Bhutto, he questioned the need for an inquiry by the UN or Scotland Yard when judges of integrity like Justice Iftikhar Mohammad Chaudhry, Justice Wajihuddin Ahmed and Justice Saeed-uz-Zaman Siddiqui were there.—Staff Reporter
