Plans to return intact: Musharraf

ISLAMABAD:


Former president Pervez Musharraf says his plans to return to the country were intact despite the military leadership’s refusal to provide him security or help him evade arrest.


Talking to The Express Tribune by phone from Dubai, Musharraf said: “I have never made any such request. My comeback plans are very much intact. I don’t need any extra measures for my protection  and the government, not the army, is responsible for that.”

In Islamabad, a spokesperson for the former president also called this newspaper to contradict a news report, saying it was untrue.

“Musharraf … will return when he has to…we will decided what time suits him to be in Pakistan again,” said Fawad Chaudhry, who is associated with the former president’s All Pakistan Muslim League (APML).

On Sunday, it was reported that Musharraf had requested the military leadership to use its influence to prevent an imminent arrest upon his arrival in Pakistan.

Engr. Baqer Khan | 13 years ago | Reply @Qamaruddin Shaikh Sorry brother if you are offended by my comments.We are viewing the matters from different angles.But if i ask you to have a visit to these trible areas and look at the mess done there with naked eyes,then may be your convinced.But if you think that we can progress by crushing these innocent tribesmen for a few militants armed by RAW, CIA or whosoever, then you should think again,.And by the way let me tell you that these tribesmen never went for rebellion so far, what made (a few of) them follow this track is the malodorous policies adopted by Musharraf.If you kill my brothers sisters,my children,my father and all my relatives then i will retaliate in the strongest way.This is the mindset of these tribesmen and they are retaliating now.Please look at these issues from a broad point of view.
