When former president Pervez Musharraf took a detour to hospital on his way to court for treason hearing, the social media was abuzz with speculations about his health condition.
The former military chief complained of pain in his heart today and was immediately taken to a hospital. He is now admitted to a Coronary Care Unit for medical assistance.
A few selected tweets that sprung after the former president was taken to the hospital are mentioned below:
Hope for #Musharraf 's speedy recovery so he can finally enter the court

All medical excuses must be verified by an independent board of doctors. I have an ouchy is no excuses to skip your treason case.

Isn't it a little premature for gallows' humour?

Give him benefit of doubt.he is an aged man after all
The saga and happenings along with the statements from the those who matter in Pakistan, speaks loud and clear about the state of the nation of Pakistan.
With mind set of vendetta and a champions of conspiracy theory who ever thinks Pakistan will progress like that, lives in a fool's paradise!
It looks like Musharraf has taken a good lesson from the corrupt Indian politicians. As soon as they are arrested or convicted of crimes and corruption, they suddenly develop mental problems, diabetes, heart problems and neurological problems and ask to be released from the prison.
Mush definitely is faking this heart problem. It may even be planned and coordinated with the Pak establishment and the government. It is curious to note that this happened just days before the Saudi overlords are supposed to arrive in Pakistan. I smell a rat.
Just imagine for a moment if the USA marines would be tried in civilian courts for their accused crimes instead of the military courts; the myth about their bravery would have long been blurred before their combat performance in Afghanistan!

Musharraf was always a coward, you can expect anything from him!
Musharraf is suffering from a rare heart problem called court phobia palpitations which cannot be treated in Pakistan and will require treatment in a foreign country.
Thankless tv anchor's who are biased against Musharraf, all because of Musharraf who set the media free,these people set on the road of fame and fortune,always new Talat Husain was anti Musharraf, but not the other two,these anchor's do not even question the credibility of the biased judges of the special court, they just go along with the corrupt pmln rule and spread propaganda to the people.
@azfar:following too much anti Musharraf propaganda by the corrupt,lack the facts,concocted fake cases,charges.
these people are so illiterate immature and disgusting sold out journalists … its not will of Musharaf its pakistan Army ,those who know that things are going wrong and singled out one person, how on earth Musharaf can go to the hospital on his own? very shameful journalists and poor political understanding!
Interesting that the youngest person quoted had the most mature response. (Aseefa Bhutto)
@Nida Alvi: Hehehe... gone one !!
Great Hero of Pakistan.He is loyal with his country ,with his people.He is an Army man not a corrupt citizen of Pakistan.He will be the country's next president in the 2018 elections .All people are corrupt
Great Hero of Pakistan.He is loyal with his country ,with his people.He is an Army man not a corrupt citizen of Pakistan.
My comment has not been cleared and printed by ET because it was in support of Pervaiz Musharraf. Comments containing abuses for Pervaiz Musharraf are being printed. This is not fair.
Love you Musharraf!! May Allah bless you with health. Amen.
Now you know why we are in this mess.. He was a frightened frantic cat from the start, always looking for excuses. Mama's boy!
Disappointed to read the comments of some of the pillars of the unadvised ( ! ) media, the leading anchors and commentators. If Musharaff is faking it he is bound to be ridiculed and humiliate for life, but if its a genuine case will she crowd mongers and pygmies have the character to take back their words. Dr Masood, Talat and the lady with the hood... you could have waited.
Most of her young life, Miss Aseefa did not live with her father, therefore she is not aware of these dramas. Its a shame for entire nation that a general who has commanded a great army can fall so low.
Are you Brave Soldier, General
Mussharaf to get well soon sir
Dekho, Dekho, Janbaaz Commando Bhaaga hospital ki taraf court se jaan bacahane ke liyeh.
Shame on all those chaps who call Musharraf a coward when he has guts to come to the valley of Shareef and Badmash and face the corrupt judicial system.
While its an open fact that all charges are baseless and politically motivated against him, this is certainly a personal Vendetta against a Patriotic and Brave man.
@Muneer: Fake charges? Were you born yesterday?
He is only suffering from Loose Motions as per statement from AFIC (Sarcasm)
All approaches except Aseefa's approach are insane.. if anyone of them is in musharraf's condition and someone is make fun of him/her, then he/she will realize.. mostly politicians and anchorpersons are just liars, looters... See the county's position in Musharraf's era... Media got freedom in MUSHARRAF era, otherwise may be they still did not get freedom
@ Nida Alvi : Good One!!!
bhagooraaa....... 2 no comandooooo
Disturbing to read tweets of a low taste that include journalists of the caliber of Dr. Shahid Masood and Syed Talat Hussain. I would agree with Quatrina for asking a rational reason for displaying such a shallow mentality.
@Nida Alvi: Enter our Arabian benefactors...
With so much mental pressure, men at his age are bound to suffer medical problems. We should not deride his illness. We should pray he gets better and then face the charges.
Next statement: “Armed Forces Institute of Cardiology (AFIC) has diagnosed Musharraf with court allergy and the doctors say that he can only be treated abroad.”
Fake complaint.Fake charges.Fake court.Fake trial.Do in Rome as the Romans do.
Aseefa's approach is positive and healthy.
