Lawyers dismayed over ruling coalition 'promises'

Chairman Save Judiciary Committee, advocate Abdul Rashid Qureshi said American roots in the affairs of Pakistan were very deep, as neither any government nor any office can go contrary to its (US) will. He said the whole nation wanted Dr Khan as president of the country but US did not want him to see in this office.

He said it was regrettable that political parties would elect only those as President who will be suited to US interests. Qureshi called for promoting ties with China, about which, he added, our Holy Prophet (SAW) had also mentioned for going there for learning. He said Dr Khan is a staunch supporter of ties with China for the purpose of defence of the country and this was not liked by America.

Qureshi said majority of the people favours appointment of Dr Khan as President of the country as he had become Awami (national) President and the day is not far off when establishment would also accept him the president.
