In a press statement, Musharraf’s political adviser Chaudry Sarfraz Anjum Kahlon stated that the former president "was being punished for protecting the unity and integrity of Pakistan against violent actors.”
"All cases currently registered against Musharraf are politically orientated and devoid of any reality or legal merit. It is a grave injustice that the former president has been incarcerated for near to six months and serious questions are being raised about the validity of the legal process."
Kahlon added that "those political forces behind the unjust and illegal detention of Musharraf are inadvertently emboldening extremists, terrorists and foreign backed separatists in Pakistan."
Kahlon further said that "certain political forces wish to create an intolerable situation for Musharraf in the hope that he will leave Pakistan, but they will fail in their malicious designs as a Pakistani soldier always overcomes challenges and lives only for his country and people."

Musharaf is a true leader and he have all those abilities that should be in a good leader and he pushed up pakistan,s economy and progress but unfortunately people does not deserve. sorry if i hurted anyone.
@syed Imran: Your freedom to speak was due to President Musharraf's liberalization of Media. If it was the 1980's you would find yourself in a ditchc after get a beaten of a lifetime.
God knows I Miss Musharraf so much! if ever he be in the Government, I told my friends every day party from me for one week... or probably for the whole month.
And Nation's everyday will be party day... InshaAllah.
Miss Musharraf.
@syed Imran: Which planet are you living on dude? On planet Earth, Pakistan is still here, but it is suffereing and bleeding not because of Musharraf, but because of closet supporters of terrorism and extremism such as you appear to be. Musharraf's policies broght progress to Pakistan, and prosperity to Pakistanis, the best weapon against terrorists. He directly attacked terrorists whenever they raised their ugly heads, and kept them in check. There were no massacres of minorities when he was the leader. Pverty and corruption were down. Exports were up. There was food on the table. People had hope. If all this is what you regard as killing Pakistan, then you better go look up the definition of killing in a dictionary.
Lal masjid was a den of vipers. Musharraf made a 100% correct decision to wipe them out.
@syed Imran: are you for real
Terrorism in Pakistan is a result of Saudi American policies to prevent Russia from acquiring Afghanistan and the prevalence of the new 'Islam' developed by Saudi Arabia. Stop blaming Musharraf his record speaks for itself
He along with his colleagues should be hanged until death.
If the Nawaz govt. sincerly wants to eliminate terrorism from the country then it has to release Mussarraf with due respect . He is the only person in Pakistan who took a bold step to hit the root of terrorism and given a final chance to those who were thinking to snatch Kashmir from India through arm struggle in the form of Kargil war . Now he holds the key to solve the Kashmir issue which is the main obstruction in the way of peace and development of the entire region .
tho he made some terrible mistakes for instance Judiciary crises , lal masjid operation , but for sure every single Pakistani live better life before and those who said Musharraf is responsible for the present situation , shame on them.
Thank you Musharraf for showing Pakistani nation the face of prosperity. we miss your "dictatorship" which works so good for a country like Pakistan.
@Malik Hamza:
Musharraf killed the whole of Pakistan, todays terrorism is because of him and 50000 people who got killed because of his policies have their blood on his hands. he must be hanged
LONG LIVE MUSHARAFF.
@syed Imran: @fawad: Your telling me that if he killed terrorist was a bad idea ? Your mindset is of a terrorist . Long alive Musharraf
Of course a big conspiracy not only against the former president but against the country by the forces (as well as their Pak agents) who cannot tolerate a strong and stable Pakistan.
@fawad:
where you see him crying? what he want is simply justice... his decisions are ex officio as the president of Pakistan or COAS and can't be challenged in courts, Musharraf is just being dragged for nothing - He is Million time better than any of your politician right now in Pakistan.
He trusted the court more than a common man, and this is what he gets in return.
Musharaf should face his trial like a brave man. Why is he crying now?
Meanwhile Maulana Aziz goes scot free.
Musharraf deserve to be jailed for life if not hanged as whatever is happeninig in this Country is all his making
