Supporters’ rally: ‘Take back cases against Musharraf’

KARACHI: Charged activists of the All Pakistan Muslim League (APML) in Karachi staged a protest in favour of former military ruler Pervez Musharraf. They demanded the withdrawal of all cases registered against him on Thursday. The protestors rallied with placards and banners inscribed with slogans in favour of Musharraf. They also strongly condemned ‘one-sided state discriminations’ against their leader. Leaders from APML’s Karachi division also demanded the immediate removal of Musharraf name from Exit Control List (ECL). “The tenure of Musharraf was a golden era and he put the country on the path of progress and prosperity,” they said. “Musharraf is the most important pillar of the state and the government is hatching a conspiracy against him, we are very displeased with the way Musharraf has been treated since returning from his self-imposed exile,” they said.
