Musharraf Ordered Firing on Iftikhar Chaudhry’s Motorcade
Wednesday, March 11th, 2009
Sheikh Waqas Akram of the Muslim League - Quaid (PML-Q) revealed today on the floor of the Punjab Assembly that in 2007 former President Pervez Musharraf ordered the Punjab government to shoot at the motorcade of deposed Chief Justice Iftikhar Chaudhry in Lahore.
The firing was to be done in three separate locations on the deposed judge’s procession route, designed to spark fear among congregants and discourage their participation in rallies.
Akram states that the PML(Q)-run government in Punjab refused to follow the orders, which were relayed by a senior intelligence official.
