Chief of Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaaf Imran Khan, while hitting hard at General Pervez Musharraf, has said that President Pervez Musharraf has committed treason and should face the death penalty for declaring a state of emergency in the country.
Condemning imposition of emergency in the country, Imran Khan called on the people to resist Musharraf’s move and not to recognise the new chief justice appointed by the military ruler. “Musharraf has committed high treason by negating the orders of the Supreme Court which bars him from taking any unconstitutional steps and by sending in troops after the Supreme Court decision,” Khan said.
He urged the people to resist the “unconstitutional move” and not to recognise the new Chief Justice whom Imran Khan termed as Musharraf aide.  He also called upon the lawyers to boycott the court proceedings and resist this unconstitutional move of General Musharraf.
