All Pakistan Muslim League (APML) chief and former military ruler General (retd) Pervez Musharraf has said that all corrupt politicians should be thrown out of the country.

They, including the PML-N politicians, want to create chaos in the country and therefore, speak against the judiciary and the army, he added. "The Supreme Court should take notice of this."

He said those speaking against the army are enemies of the country and the nation will respond to them in a befitting manner. "Pakistan Army is the defender of the country and it has served in all times of difficulties while guarding the borders."

Addressing a rally in Karachi via phone from Dubai, Musharraf said his party, the APML, is going to cobble together a political alliance with PML-Functional and other like-minded parties.

Participants of the rally marched from Tariq Road to Mazar-e-Quaid. They were carrying placards inscribed with messages in the army’s support. They also chanted slogans against the PML-N and PPP.

Musharraf said his party will contest the next elections with a political alliance and if they are voted to power, they will fight against corruption.

He said the country is facing serious threats because of the flawed policies of the present rulers, to the extent where a premier was disqualified by the court based on corruption charges.

In the wake of the disqualification the PML-N is issuing statements against the army and the judiciary, which should be condemned, he said.

He said the country is on the verge of collapse due to the present government, the national exchequer is almost empty and the country is being run on loans.

He said the economy was doing much better during his regime as compared to the present situation while adding that it seems like corrupt politicians seem eager to sell the county out with their policies.

He went on to say that APML has started its political activities and will form a grand alliance to defeat Pakistan Peoples Party and the PML-N. He said that Karachi has awakened and many people from different parties are joining APML, and more are welcome to.

MJ-Sid | 6 years ago | Reply If we start throwing corrupt people out of Pakistan, maybe 14 people will be left in the country and half of them will be infants. But seriously all of us have bee conditioned to accept corruption in our lives. Students cheat, then use personal contacts or nepotism to get coveted jobs. Then try to find short cuts to work less and make more money while showing no regard for business ethics and common morality. From disobeying traffic laws to throwing trash on the streets to watching adult movies on the net to backbiting against friends and relatives and everything in between how many people really are not corrupt?
