Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf
would meet his "end" very soon for supporting the United States in its
war against Afghanistan, a top opposition leader warned on Tuesday.
The days of Musharraf's military
regime are also numbered because it has lost the confidence of the people,
Jamaat-e-Islami chief Qazi Hussain Ahmed said.
"The Muslim ummah (world) is grieved
with the US attacks but our government, which claims it is an Islamic one,
is supporting these attacks," Online news agency quoted Qazi as saying.
He said he had contacted other Pakistani
religious and political leaders to chalk out a joint strategy against the
government and the US attacks on Afghanistan's ruling Taleban.
"Musharraf is not correct when he
says the nation is with him and only a small minority is protesting against
his policies. The fact is that the nation is very grieved and Musharraf
will soon met his end," Qazi said.
"Anti-US and anti-government demonstrations
and protests will continue until America stops air strikes against Afghanistan,"
he warned.
