musharraf defends
Former President General (r) Pervez Musharraf has vowed to return Pakistan to face the trial being carried out by the Supreme Court of Pakistan in a case filed against his extra-constitutional steps on November 3, 2007. Musharraf, while talking to newsmen after holding meetings with his legal advisors and former political allies, told the newsmen Thursday that he was ready to appear before the court “if needed”.
The former President General (rtd) Pervez Musharraf constituted a committee of lawyers to defend him in cases filed against him at the Supreme Court, a private TV reported Friday. The legal committee of the former president will be headed by Abdul Hafeez Pirzadah with Khalid Ranjha, Malik Abdul Qayyum and Chaudhry Fawwad as committee members. Talking to Chaudhry Fawwad by phone from London, Pervez Musharraf said he did everything during his era for national interest. The former President is quoted saying, ‘I saw good time, will see bad times now.’ It should be noted that the Supreme Court issued summon notice to the former president directing him to appear before court on July 29 in cases relating judges’ appointment and emergency.
I hope and pray that one day a charge sheet is put up against the MQM Leader Altaf Hussain and we will all see if he is brave enough to come and face the charges in Pakistan.
