MANSEHRA: The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) staged a rally on Monday to express solidarity with the armed forces and former president General (r) Pervez Musharraf. The PTI workers blocked Karakoram Highway to traffic for about an hour here.
“We are with our armed forces and Pervez Musharraf, who is a great hero of the Kargil war and could never be a traitor,” Kamal Khan Swati, the nephew of a local PTI MPA Babar Saleem Swati, told the rally here at Ghazikot. The protesters, holding banners and placards, criticised special court’s death sentence for General (r) Pervez Musharraf, and raised slogans in his support and that of the armed forces.
The passengers travelling between Mansehra and Abbottabad and rest of the country remained stranded in their vehicles. Swati said that people of the entire Mansehra district wanted the apex court to take a suo moto notice in the Pervez Musharraf case. “People have taken to the streets to express solidarity with Musharraf,” said Gulfaraz Qureshi, the former naib nazim.
