Musharraf incites violence against Dawn reporter

Topic started by zeemax on Jan 27, 2008 2:14:29 am


Musharraf in his London press conference told the audience to beat up the Dawn Reporter Ziauddin Ahmed upon asking a pointed question.

The UK lawyer Sibghatullah Qadri says it is incitement to violence which is a criminal offense under UK laws, and can be prosecuted.

But Musharraf is the President of a country, and lawyers are trying to figure out whether diplomatic immunity applies in this case.

I don't know how pathetic it can get. This is the pits and Musharraf sinks lower and lower everyday.

What are the Corp Commanders doing? Are they all blind or traitors?

Perhaps HP could answer.

viqarm,

Yes the Europe trip has been a disaster. He had absolutely nothing to do for two days in London because he couldn't get the appointments he wanted. So he had stupid banquets instead by the expat community etc.

I think we are reading too much into it. Mush was never known for actually thinking before saying something (recall his comments wrt Mukhtaran Mai, Dr. Shazia affairs; also his blow up on his last visit to the UN/New York).

To me, it seems, that his European visit did not go well (not really surprising) and he is frustrated, perhaps scared.

On a more positive note, let uope that he now sees the writing on the wall and decides to step down peacefully (though I am not very optimistic about his doing so).

Post by nb,

nb no, it has not been reported in the media. The link is audio. Go to http://www.bbc.co.uk/urdu/ open the Radio link on the upper right, and select 'Jahan Numa'. It's the latest broadcast today.

But this site is in Urdu. If you have difficulty reading Urdu, ask me and I will guide you to the broadcast link.

HP Saeen ... your views please. What's in the Corps Commanders mind? Why're they still firmly behind Musharraf who isn't even in the army anymore despite occupying COAS house?
