This is "topy" drama of PML(N) to divert the attention of the people of Pakistan from the grave problems which the people of this country are facing which have been increased tremendously since taking over the government by them for the last 7 months.They should come forward and tell the people why they are not iniating the case of treason against Musharrad w.e.f.12th October,1999 when their government was dismissed by him and Marshal Law was imposed by Musharraf in the country. This is a fit case against him under Article 6 of the Constitution of Pakistan. As a matter of fact these coward people do not want to do so to save themselves from retaliation and do not want to come in the forefront intentionally due to the reasons known to everybody in this country.
Musharraf is a reall leader, he has no curruption charges like current leaders but had done great development plans for Pakistan during his tenure, now PM just trying to convert people attention.
Nawaz Sharif, iftikhar Chaudry & zardari to be charged on articale-6, musharraf is innocent.
Let's do something concrete dear courts.
