LAHORE: Ameer Jamaat e Islami Pakistan, Syed Munawar Hasan, has described Osama bin Laden as the greatest martyr and President Zardari as the biggest traitor.

Addressing a public meeting at a Chakwal village on Sunday, he said that Osama bin Laden had refused to obey the Satan upon which the US was so much upset and ashamed that it could not release any photograph or video of Osama after his martyrdom.

Syed Munawar Hasan further said that Prime Minister Gilani who had challenged the Supreme Court’s dignity should have been handcuffed and also chained because not only had he violated his oath but also committed contempt by refusing to write to the Swiss Banks only to save President Zardari.

He impressed upon the Chief Justice, Pakistan not to be impressed by the holders of the highest offices and treat all on equal footings. Whosoever challenged the dignity of the court should be handed down deterrent punishment, he said, adding that had the people like Babar Awan and Rehman Malik been jailed for contempt, the Prime Minister could not have the courage to disobey the court orders.

Syed Munawar Hasan said that the nation was in the grip of beasts as a gang of exploiters was ruling the country under the garb of democracy while the common man was unable to make both ends meet. He said the nation should realize that corrupt people could not control corruption and the masses would have to rise against the oppressive political system.

For the last 65 years, the country was being ruled by Qabza groups, feudal lords, and capitalists. Basic human rights were violated during all periods and poverty, oppression and injustice continued to increase.
