Musharraf handed over Dr Aafia in lust for dollars: Dr Fauzia

April 23, 2010

LAHORE: Dr Aafia Siddiqui's sister, Dr Fauzia Siddiqui said that former President Pervez Musharraf handed over her sister and children to USA in voracity of dollars while her sister had no links with the banned organization.

Addressing the Lahore High Court Bar Association (LHCBA) session on Friday she said that the incumbent government was not working for the repatriation of Dr Aafia.

She appealed to the lawyer fraternity and masses to run a campaign for the release of Dr Aafia as they did against former dictator Pervez Musharraf. She further said that the PPP led government should have demanded the US government that if Dr Aafia was a culprit then her case should be pursued in Pakistan.

Addressing the session, President LHCBA, Mian Abdul Qadus said that that former dictator had handed over the Pakistani citizens including Dr Aafia Siddiqui out of greed for money.

He demanded the trial of former dictator under Article 6 of the constitution while all the responsible people who were involved in handing over of Dr Aafia Siddiqui should be dealt with iron hands.

March for freedom

Pasban Lahore organised a march here on Friday to press for the release of Dr Aafia Siddiqui by the US. The march was held from Shuhada Mosque to Assembly hall where Altaf Shakoor president Pasban, Pakistan addressed the participants. He urged students, labourers, lawyers and journalists to intensify their efforts to free Dr Aafia.

He said that people should not be mislead by the false stories against Aafia being churned out by anti-Muslim Jewish lobby. He demanded of the government to support the daughter of the nation and fulfill its duties.

Malik Muhammad Fawad Nasir | 14 years ago | Reply Well, our nation is more innocent than we actually think they are. The best example of that is how an influential person in the region with help of government corrupt officials, mafia groups, spending his illegal money to potray that he is popular, and twisting financial and security arms of people of his area to say they support him. We can seen many known criminals who are MNAs, Nazims today whoes life is full of criminal records, they start their life as criminal and get into powerfull positions. This is how the political structure of Pakistan which based on everything which is called immoral. People actually say the most dirty guy is the most suited one in politics of Pakistan. Lieing is first thing that the learnt in their life. Such people does not move alone, they have people who are associated with them who are linked with them based on benefits of power and profit, they are good in altering people opponions of issues, talks against Pervez Musharraf is not from today, since the begining I have been seeing posters of Jihad, people talking against him, convicng other for he not being good, also these people has links in opinion makers especially columist or media who is on payroll of these politicians - finding issues or making issues is not a big problem. You can find any issue which can stir public sentiments. Musharraf didnt go becuase of Lal Masjid or other stuff he is gone caz the big power like America want him to go, politicans help them create environment which makes him weak. Even the most beloved guy Mr. Chief Justice is on payroll of Nawaz Sharif. The fight today is not about who is going to be the Leader or not as many of our innocent Pakistanis think the fight today is for a better future of these people which very much depends on the weakning of immoral politicans - We must understand and we must fight back, opportunity that we have today will not come back in 50 years. In 2008 the public opinion was against the guy, and what happened it was a near save for Pakistani people and if in 2013 election we will not decide the right path for the country many analyst are already potraying the doomsday scenarion for 170 million people of Pakistan. They are corrupt and immoral, and still say Musharraf is bad. As you say Chorr bhi kahay chor choor.

pakistani | 14 years ago | Reply Dr. Afia seems like a complete fraud as per all information available anywhere. Daughter of the Nation, how why? what has she ever done for this nation. She is not even a pakistani Citizen. People have gone completely insane over this issue. She divorced her completely decent husband, married a known terrorist and was obviously involved in very shady activities. On top of that, she has offered no proof of her innocence because there is none. Her sister belongs on a drama stage. I mean even the picture of her torture is a complete falacy.

Zeeshan Ummaid Ali | 14 years ago | Reply Dr. Fauzia, people are standing up throughout the nation while the government officials are hardly talking or discussing about it. People all over the world know the injustice done to Dr. Aafia still they are not bothered. The president is not bothered. Can they not speed up the court process just because of the fact that she has been kept away from her family for so many years without being tried in court. Thats no different from kidnapping. There is a facebook page of Pervez Musharraf. Why dont you just ask him straight whether he did it or not. America took Dr. Aafia thats true we all know it, Musharraf's fault would be American FBI's access to the country especially the northern areas. Still FBI individuals in the current government (president) can enter the country and do whatever they want without a question. Are they not given access by the current president? Yes they do have access. They are throwing bombs (drones) killing several Aafias everyday. My point is that put all your effort thinking of the strategy to bring back Dr. Aafia. Blaming the ex-present, at least now, wont make a difference because he is a nobody. Make Muslim brothers and sisters stand for the reason of injustice being done. And later file a case against Musharraf if you have a slightest proof about his hand in the kidnapping. Just how I think. You might have better ideas I took ur neuro lecture in Agha Khan University last year.

Iman | 14 years ago | Reply Our sick government officials are obedient slaves of America! how can they say a single word against American or Israeli decisions. They just know how to have thousands of acres of land for their next generation and to have bank balances. They have forgot that one day have to answer before Allah for their deeds.May Allah give hadayah to our leaders as well as all Muslims of the World.

sheraz khan | 14 years ago | Reply wat a shame it is that when Guardian newspaper did a story on the missing people with mush at the center of it, every TV journalist took it and ran with it like Naseem Hameed at the Olympics but when the same Guardian did a story entitled "The mystery of Dr Aafia Siddiqui"(Tuesday 24 November 2009) not a single tv channel news person talked about it...how sad it is that when our very own daily times did a story on the shady past of this woman, no one put it on Tv for the world to see..why was she divorced from her 1st husband (Amjad Khan) and who is her 2nd husband and how is he connected with Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, Pls if after all this someone still believes that the whole of the world has nothing better to do than to join hands in a global conspiracy against Miss Aafia, then... ....

Name Khan | 14 years ago | Reply We shall not just see everything so emotionally. Emotions make us blind, lets not forget that Afia is a US citizen. Second her sister is changing her stance every once in a while. Such contradictions in her statements will create more doubts! She is on record saying that afia was captured in afghanistan, now she is saying mush handed her over for dollars. Shall we guess that she is being used in JI's anti-mush campaign??

Anonymous | 14 years ago | Reply Had there been an American Lady in Pakistan’s custody, by now America would have invaded Pakistan to get her free. But Pakistani rulers are the most obedient servants of their master’s voice, submissive and ready to cooperate with USA by all means under any circumstances. If the rulers will not do that, how their loved ones can visit and live in America? For American’s sake, Pakistani rulers can go up to any extent.

Abid | 14 years ago | Reply Dr.Fouzia has never claimed this befor. Now she is trying to mobilse the public with a fake allegation .She should ocme with a proof

umair | 14 years ago | Reply This government is just so pathetic. They are least bothered about Afia and her children. I wish one of their blood gets taken away by a foreign power and no one helps them as well.

Nadir El-Edroos | 14 years ago | Reply The stories may be misled, poor investigative journalism may be at fault, but what proof of an "anti-muslim jewish lobbey" role is there? If this "lobbey" is soooo powerful why would it waste its time abducting and then spreading disinformation about one person and her children? Please! Offer some proof, more rhetoric and talking points just causes more embarasment! No wonder the foreign media isnt taking this issue up, as the only arguments on offer is that Dr Aafia is a victim of some global conspiracy.

someone | 14 years ago | Reply Free her by force. Conduct a rescue operation with the best trained men. Remove any impediment physically in the way way of her freedom. Kill all those who were involved in her and her children's torture and kidnapping. Locate Suleyman NOW and reunite her with her Mother now.
