Former Pakistan president and All Pakistan Muslim League (APML) chief Pervez Musharraf said on Friday that the ruling government had sent the masses into disappointment, and the worst thing happening was that people were loosing faith in Pakistan.
Addressing the inaugural of the APML Lawyers’ Forum, Musharraf said that every person in the country was perplexed, as the dysfunctional government had failed to control mounting inflation, corruption, unemployment and the deteriorating law and order situation in the country.
The former president urged the masses to unite and release the country from the grips of turncoat politicians. He vowed that he would return to Pakistan on March 23 next year, adding the possibility of his early return. He said his party would get a new motivation with his return to Pakistan. He said the restructuring of the APML had almost been completed in 80 districts of the country.
Commenting on his coup on October 12, 1999, the general-turned politician said the foremost responsibility of every Pakistani was to ensure the security of the country, and that he too took the step in the longer interest of the country. About the issue of removing the chief justice of Pakistan, he said, “I was bound to pursue the advice of the prime minister and whatever I did was in accordance with the constitution.”
