Son’s plea: I fear Musharraf’s ‘free exit’

If Musharraf is allowed to leave the country, I will never be able to get justice: Son of deputy cleric of Lal Masjid

ISLAMABAD:

Fearing Pervez Musharraf being given a ‘safe exit’ from Pakistan, son of deputy cleric of Lal Masjid Abdur Rashid Ghazi is seeking a murder case against the former president and approached Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Monday.

Haroon Rashid Ghazi filed the application through his counsel Advocate Tariq Asad for registration of First Information Report against Musharraf for killing his father Abdul Rashid Ghazi and his grandmother Sahib Khatoon.

“If Musharraf is allowed to leave the country, I will never be able to get justice for the killing of my father and my grandmother,” Haroon Ghazi added.

The complainant has maintained in his application that electronic and print media have been reporting that arrangements were being made to let Pervez Musharraf leave the country before the new government takes oath, he said.
