FAISALABAD, March 15: PML-N acting president Makhdoom Javed Hashmi has demanded that complete Hamoodur Rehman Commission Report should be presented before the National Assembly so that the elements responsible for dismemberment of Pakistan could be exposed.

Speaking at a press conference here at the DHQ Hospital after visiting deputy opposition leader of the Punjab Assembly Rana Sanaullah Khan on Saturday, Mr Hashmi said national and foreign newspapers had already published the classified portions of the report.

The rulers targeted Mr Khan for mentioning some of its portion which was undoubtedly an act of state terrorism, he added.

The Makhdoom criticized the role of ISI in the formation of governments and policies and termed it a harmful act for the country.

He claimed that the PML-N would close political wing of the ISI after coming into power and end their intervention in policy making.

Criticizing the foreign policy, especially stand on Iraq issue, he said Pakistan should cast its vote in the UN Security Council against the US.

About the Legal Framework Order, he said a committee comprising opposition leaders in the National Assembly had been formed for holding dialogues with the government.

But, it was unfortunate that the rulers were using delaying tactics which could create problems for them, he added.

The PML-N acting chief vowed to continue struggle for the restoration of 1973 Constitution and revival of true democracy in the country.

ISHAQ DAR: Former federal minister Ishaq Dar has said a document is being prepared on violation of human rights by the Gen Pervez Musharraf regime which will be sent to the Commonwealth and European Union countries, the United Nations and human rights organizations.

Speaking at a press conference here on Saturday, the PML-N central leader said the country was being run by agencies. The present handpicked civilian set up was a stooge of the establishment, he added.
