‘Osama good, Zardari bad’

Jamaat-i-Islami chief says prime minister should be sent to jail.

LAHORE: Osama Bin Laden was a “great martyr” while Asif Zardari is “the biggest traitor”, said Jamaat-i-Islami Ameer Syed Munawar Hasan on Sunday.

Addressing a public meeting at a Chakwal village, Hasan said that Bin Laden had been “martyred” because he refused to obey “the Great Satan”.

He said Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani should be put behind bars because he had challenged the Supreme Court’s authority, violated his oath and committed contempt of court by refusing to write a letter to the Swiss.

“Whosoever challenges the writ of the court should be handed down deterrent punishment,” Hasan said. He added that if Babar Awan and Rehman Malik had been jailed for contempt, the prime minister would not have disobeyed the court’s orders.

Hasan said that a “gang of exploiters” was ruling the country under the garb of democracy while the common man was unable to make both ends meet. He said that corrupt people could not control corruption and the masses would have to rise against the “oppressive political system”.

The JI ameer said that Prime Minister Gilani’s only achievement was to hide the president’s corruption. He said that parliament was keen to restore NATO supplies “to facilitate the enemy in the killing of Pakistanis”. He said parliament was no longer representative of the nation.
