Nawaz offers to bring Musharraf's ailing mother to Pakistan on special airplane

Musharraf had earlier requested to be removed from ECL so that he could visit his 95-year-old mother in Dubai.

ISLAMABAD: Federal Information Minister Pervaiz Rasheed on Friday said that the independent judiciary would decide the fate of General (ret.) Pervez Musharraf.    

"[However], the Prime Minister of Pakistan on sympathetic grounds, is ready to send a special plane or an air ambulance to bring his mother back home so as to continue her medical treatment in Pakistan and she could be with her son," he said in a statement issued by the Prime Minister's Office.

Background

Earlier this month, Musharraf’s counsel had moved the court, stating that his client wanted to be with his 95-year-old mother in Dubai after his release on bail and that keeping his client’s name on the ECL was a violation of fundamental rights.

The Sindh High Court had dismissed the plea and advised Musharraf's counsel to refer the request directly to the government.

After getting assurance from the judge at residence of the outgoing CJ, NS and Nisar visited Simli Dam Rest House to put Musharraf there after handcuffing him in the court. But Musharraf has nothing to lose. He has already given so much to Pakistan, he can give his life too.

It is a shame that you raise the question of ethnicity here. If you must then just check on the background of the judges , prosecutor and media persons. They are all Punjabis

It is the tyrrany of the Pujabis that resulted in the creation of Bangladesh. And now they are at it again.

Musharraf 's Nov 3 2007 Proclamation Order was constitutional and in order under the advice of the PM. Cyclop Chaudhry forged a SC judgement on ordinary paper with no signatutres of some judges ( there was no Bench ) and Justice Rana Bhagwandas signed and dated it after two days. Jinnah gave Pakistan to rid Muslims of majority Hindu hegemony and Punjabis replaced Hindus as the tyrrany of majority Shame
