JI chief lauds special court's ruling in Musharraf case

Chief of Jamaat-e-Islami Senator Sirajul Haq has said the special court ruling in Parvez Musharraf high treason case will ensure the supremacy of the constitution and strengthen the democracy in Pakistan. "Indeed it is great decision in 72 years history of the country. The verdict will have far reaching impact on the future politics of Pakistan," said the JI chief in a statement issued from Mansoora on Tuesday.

He added the verdict will strengthen the people's trust on the country's judicial system. Since the special court announced death sentence to the former military ruler finding him guilty of high treason, the JI chief demanded the government make arrangements to bring the former dictator back to Pakistan.

JI Naib Emir Liaqat Baloch also demanded the government immediately take measures to ensure presence of Parvez Musharraf in the country. In a statement, he said judiciary earned more respect in the eyes of the public and now it was responsibility of the parliament to take step for the supremacy of the constitution and protection of democracy in the country.
