Mushahid Hussain says the Q-league is the genuine opposition because its founder was Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah? - File photo

KARACHI Secretary General PML-Q Mushahid Hussain on Friday stressed that the people who want to put former President Pervez Musharraf on trial must come forward and do so because the time had come for taking practical steps rather than just debating on the thorny issue.

Every one will be silent on one phone call from Saudi Arabia, said Mushahid Hussain.

At the moment, the country is being run by plunderers and looters of sugar, cement and flour, said Mushahid, adding that the finance minister too had expressed his sheer reservations.

He further added that the Q-league was the genuine opposition because its founder was Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah.—Online
