ISLAMABAD:


Former president Pervez Musharraf is likely to submit an application on Friday (today) requesting the interior ministry to lift the travel ban imposed on him at the earliest.


Musharraf’s Islamabad based counsel Chaudhry Faisal Hussain told The Express Tribune that he had received a letter from the former president that will be submitted to the interior secretary’s office seeking permission to leave the country in view of the SHC’s judgment.



“Fair play demands that the government may permit me to travel abroad, considering that my mother is seriously ill in the UAE and her condition is deteriorating,” the letter states.



“The doctors have confirmed that the fracture in my own backbone is not treatable in Pakistan,” Musharraf said in the letter.

The letter also states that the SHC order has been self-executory in nature and its operation has been suspended for 15 days.

Musarraf is being hated because he conducted Red star operation . Maderssa mentality will never digest his save pakistan move. They are still suporting jehadees as per their virsion of jehaad that is why terrorists activity is on in the country and abroad . Carrot and stick policy will continue in comming years against them . There is no use to preach them .
