Court reissues arrest warrants

KARACHI: An accountability court once again issued on Monday arrest warrants for absconding suspects in a case pertaining to the illegal allotment of coastal government land.

Pak Sarzameen Party (PSP) chairperson Syed Mustafa Kamal appeared in court along with several other suspects. The court, once again issuing arrest warrants for fugitive suspects, adjourned the hearing until January 17.

Speaking to the media about the Musharraf verdict, Kamal said that the requirements of justice were not fulfilled in the verdict. He further said that former presidents Ayub Khan and Ziaul Haq should also be symbolically hanged and all the clauses of Article 6 should be executed.

The PSP chairperson said that the political parties protesting the court decision should know that the special court was formulated with the approval of the parliament. He claimed that one party was presenting it as an ethnic matter, adding that the entire country was reacting to the verdict so it should not be seen as an ethnic issue.
