In an interview to the BBC in Dubai, the former chief of army staff said that it appeared as if “army officials were being targeted”.
He asserted that the army played a central role in Pakistan and in order to weaken the country some “elements” were trying to weaken the army. Regarding the Asghar Khan case, Musharraf was of the view that it was only a distraction and was causing a conflict between state institutions.
“Any tension between institutions is dangerous for Pakistan,” he said. Meanwhile, his office confirmed on Wednesday that Musharraf, who is also the chief of the All Pakistan Muslim League (APML), will travel to India from November 16 to 18 to speak at the 10th Leadership Summit organised by Hindustan Times.
