August 30th, 2009 - 1:51 pm ICT by ANI
Lahore, Aug.30 (ANI): The Pakistan Muslim League- Nawaz (PML-N) has now demanded trial of Army Chief General Ashfaq Kayani under the Article Six of the Constitution.
In an interview with a private television, PML-N chief Nawaz Sharif’s spokesman Zaeem Qadri said the party wants trial of former President General Pervez Musharraf and his close aides for supporting his unconstitutional actions.
When asked whether that means trying the present Chief of Army Staffs (COAS) General Ashfaq Kayani too, Qadri said General Kayani also fell under the category of Musharraf’s close aides.
“He (Kayani) had also seconded Musharraf’s actions in his capacity as the ISI chief,” The Daily Times quoted Qadri, as saying. (ANI)
