HYDERABAD(PEN): Grand Democratic Alliance (GDA) leader Pir Sibghatullah Shah Rashdi on Friday hinted at the possibility of imposition of an emergency or martial law, because “the army has tried everyone and none is left to be tested” now.
The Pir Pagara further said that in such an eventuality the judges would provide legitimacy and legal cover to martial law or emergency.
He was addressing a huge gathering, mostly comprising the Hur Jamaat followers from across Sindh, held at the Jamshoro-Hyderabad intersection of M9 to protest against the “sale of elections”.
The protest sit-in continued since morning. Roads leading to Karachi and Indus Highway remained blocked. All GDA’s leading lights including Dr Safdar Abbasi, Murtaza Jatoi, Dr Fehmida Mirza, Rashid Soomro, Ayaz Latif Palijo Dr Qadir Magsi, who was not part of GDA, also spoke.
