Lahore: Monday 5th November 2007.Safdar Hasan Siddiqi, Convenor of Pakistan Jamhoori Tehreek has said that the Emergency imposed by General Parvez Musharraf is illegal, unconstitutional, undemocratic and contrary to all norms of ethics and political decency, and that it amounts to blatant attack on the judiciary and the media, and usurpation of the fundamental rights of the people.
He said, the Pakistan Jamhoori Tehreek demands immediate withdrawal of the PCO and re-instatement of the judges removed through it. Such non-transparent and un-accountable actions of the government cannot be allowed by the people whose vital interests are at stake on account of the Emergency.
He said, The Pakistan Jamhoori Tehreek has asked the people, especially the youth and the women, to rise against such intrusion in the way of democracy and dispel this attack on the rights, liberties and sovereignty of the people. The Tehreek has offered full support to the lawyers’ community, the political parties of the opposition and the civil society in this respect.
