KARACHI: Former Prime Minister Mir Zafarullah Khan Jamali claimed that he brought the matter relating Dr Aafia’s abduction to former president’s knowledge; but, he advised him to stay silent.
It should be mentioned here that Pervez Musharraf, announcing his All Pakistan Muslim League (APML) in London some days back, gave impression that he was absolutely unaware of Dr Aafia’s matter.

Excerpt from column by Kamran Shafi
… But to Birmingham and before that to London, where Musharraf launched his ‘party’. He was angry, calling people who hold a mirror to him liars and propagandists whilst all the time dissembling and telling half-truths himself. Swearing upon God, for example, that he knew nothing about Afia Siddiqui’s disappearance when his prime minister at the time, Zafarullah Jamali, came on record the very next day to say that he had personally told Musharraf about the rumours of her disappearance upon which he told Jamali to not say anything about it, to let it go — “iss baat ko rehnain dein”.
