PM accused of weakening PML

Published May 16, 2004

RAWALPINDI, May 15: Pakistan Muslim League-Q (dissolved) vice-president Syed Kabir Ali Wasti has appealed to President Pervez Musharraf and party president Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain to take notice of what he said the so-called protest rallies held against him by supporters of Prime Minister Mir Zafarullah Khan Jamali in some parts of Sindh.

In a statement here on Saturday, he demanded Chaudhry Shujaat to call explanation from the prime minister.

Mr Wasti said the reports of protest rallies proved his apprehensions that Mr Jamali wanted to weaken the PML.

He said Mr Jamali was not so popular in Sindh to hold rallies against him. Rather the news of the rallies were planted against him by the government to stop him from speaking the truth.

He said he was keeping silence for the sake of the party, otherwise the politics of street agitation was not new for him.
