'Nation tormented over nuclear issue'

17 Feb, 2004

Nawabzada Mansoor Ahmed Khan, Vice President of ARD, has said that entire nation was having severe tension on the issue of nuclear scientists after issuance of clarification from Iran, North Korea and Libya who had exposed the nefarious designs of Pakistani military rulers and United States.
Talking to newsmen here on Monday he said, "our military rulers had forced the nuclear Scientist Dr Abdul Qadeer Khan to confess the undone crime for the pleasure of United States to put pressure on Iran, Libya and Korea and nation would not forgive them,"
He said that ARD had planned to organise a public meeting in Sahiwal on March 7 to violate the restrictions on freedom of expression. He said that nation would have to remove General Pervez Musharraf to save the country.
Nawabzada said that US president George-W-Bush and Indian Premier Ata Bihari Vajpayee were playing with the sentiment of their voters to win the elections and Pakistan should not serve as a cat's paw of these two leaders.
Instead, it should gain some relaxation for the nation availing this golden chance.
Nawabzada held the Punjab government responsible for the deaths of more than a dozen innocent people in Lahore during Basant, which left more than 300 people injured besides wastage of a huge amount of Rs 250 million which was sufficient for the marriages of more than 3,000 poor daughters.
