WASHINGTON:


US State Department spokesperson Victoria Nuland on Friday denied reports that former president Pervez Musharraf had requested a meeting with US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.


Speaking to reporters, Nuland said that to her knowledge, Secretary Clinton has not received any such request from the former president.

When asked for the US government’s view on Musharraf’s return and the possible threats to his life, Nuland said, “Our view is that this complex of issues is an internal matter for Pakistan.”

Former Pakistan president Pervez Musharraf said on Thursday he may delay his planned return home later this month, blaming the country’s current instability.

Musharraf also said he was awaiting recommendations from members of his All Pakistan Muslim League party back home.

“Once those recommendations come, I’m going to examine them and then make a decision whether I should return or delay my return,” the former president said during a visit to London.
