LAHORE, Sept 09: Jamaat-e-Islami ameer Qazi Hussain Ahmad has said that
president Asif Zardari has given his first salute to Washington with a joint
press conference with US-agent Hamid Karzai just after taking oath.
Though Gen Musharraf has departed from president's House but his
policies, spirit and slavish mentality is still ruling the roost, he said in a
statement issued on Tuesday.
Qazi said sitting besides Karzai, Zardari has given the message to the
west that he is ready to act like Karzai to implement their agenda. He said the
manner of the beginning of Zardari's reign has deeply frustrated the patriotic
citizens and gave a message to the nation that it was now hostage to a new
agent of the biggest terrorist of the world. Qazi said giving such an
expression did not augur well for Zardari himself.
Qazi said masses were expecting that Zardari would announce restoration
of independent judiciary sacked by Gen Musharraf, gave his policy for
eliminating price hike, unemployment and power-food crises, and reverse the
policies supporting US war on terror to end the continuous US attacks from
Afghan territory. But the nation was greatly disappointed on all those counts.
He said Zardari also disappointed Kashmiris by avoiding clear statement on
Kashmir issue.
