The Lahore High Court here on Thursday admitted a petition for regular hearing. The petitioner has sought court's directions to declare all the former dictators as traitors for abrogating the Constitution of Pakistan. The court directed the registrar to fix it before any bench on Friday (today).
The petitioner, Rana Ilamuddin, submitted that Sikandar Mirza, Yahya Khan, Ayub Khan, Ziaul Haq and Pervez Musharraf abrogated the Constitution and usurped people's fundamental rights. He pointed out that politicians also played role of second fiddle to dictators to allow them to prolong their rule. He further prayed to the court to set aside the registration of the party headed by Pervez Musharraf.
