JAMAAT LEADER BLAMES BHUTTO FOR PRESENT CRISIS
Press statement by SYED SIDDIQUL HASAN GILANI, Chief of the
Parliamentary Affairs of the Jamaat-i-Islami on
Syed Siddiqul
Hasan Gilani, Chief of the Parliamentary Affairs of the JamaatiIslami, said
here today that the responsibility for the present crisis lay with Mr. Z. A.
Bhutto, the People's Party Chief, who had aggravated the situation by
threatening to boycott the National Assembly session on March 3.
In a Press
statement here today, he maintained that the present constitutional deadlock
had been created by the PPP Chief after his failure to get any share in Sheikh
Mujibur Rahman's Government at the Centre.
The dispute,
which was basically between Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and Mr. Bhutto, he said, had
now brought the two Wings of the country in confrontation.
The country's
unity and integrity was now being threatened seriously while the PPP leaders
were trying to "hoodwink the people on one pretext or the other and hiding
their intrigues against the country".
