Pakistan Army lashes out at judiciary, backs Musharraf


Islamabad/New Delhi, Dec 17 (IANS): Pakistan Army on Tuesday lashed out at the country's judiciary and came out in support of its former chief and President Pervez Musharraf who was given death sentence by a special court in a case of high treason.

In a statement issued by Pakistan's Army official media wing, Inter Services Public Relations (ISPR) said the decision of the special court had been received with "lot of pain and anguish by rank and file of Pakistan Armed forces."

Musharraf, who served as chief of Army, Chairman of Joint Chief of Staff Committee and Pakistan's President for over 40 years and "fought wars for the defence of the country can surely never be a traitor", the ISPR said.

Outraged at the court's decision, the Army said, the "due legal process seems to have been ignored including constitution of special court, denial of fundamental right of self-defence, undertaking individual specific proceedings and concluding the case in haste".

The ISPR said that the armed forces still expected justice in line with the Constitution of Islamic Republic of Pakistan.

    People,

    Pakistan is a 'Banana Republic' lock stock and barrel.... this reaction of Army to their own Court judgement proves it once and for all...

    Paki army thinks, Country is made for them to rule... To fill their stomach they want to have tension with India all the time...Since October 1948 invasion of Kashmir....in every conflict they use terrorists as their military tool....

    When they use terrorists to attack Mumbai....Man Mohan Sing was sitting quietly folding tail between his legs...

    Modi is only leader next to Indira Gandhi by retaliating to Paki tricks... that's why Pakis hate Modiji and want Rahul as PM of India...So they can play their old tricks in Kashmir...

    There is a saying in English .... 'All bullies are Cowards....no exceptions'...

    ...Tak...Takk...
