Former president Pervez Musharraf has delayed his return home, the head of his party announced Friday.
“He finally decided today that he would accept the recommendations” of the executive committee of the All Pakistan Muslim League party to delay his return, party secretary general Mohammed Ali Saif told reporters.
“This decision (of returning) will be deliberated by the core committee of the party,” he said.
Friends and supporters had urged Musharraf to put off an imminent homecoming after Islamabad said he would be arrested if he returned from more than three years of self-imposed exile in London and Dubai.
Speaking to CNN in Davos, Switzerland, Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani said Musharraf would “certainly” be arrested if he set foot back in Pakistan.
Musharraf had promised to fly home to contest general elections. He faces two Pakistani court warrants for his arrest in connection with the 2006 death of Akbar Bugti, a rebel leader in the southwest, and the 2007 assassination of ex-prime minister Benazir Bhutto after her own homecoming.
In an interview broadcast on BBC radio earlier this month, Musharraf acknowledged he would be in danger in Pakistan.
“I do feel endangered. There is a danger certainly, but you take your own protection and then leave things to destiny. Nobody can ensure you 100 percent protection,” he said.
He admitted that his arrest in Pakistan was possible but said he would “like to remain out” of the crisis engulfing the government, army and judiciary.
good decision by Musharf…. We r always with u
patronage of the establishment is required… otherwise the FIA officials will put manacles on his wrist.

How could he be the head of the “Pakistan Muslim League Party”? he’s not a Muslim… he carries that dog in his house and drinks. Plus he’s a sellout. These kind Muslims leader are ruining the name of Islam.

Typical Pakistani buqwaas based on delusions instead of reality. Get a grip Farhad…
They should call themselves something else… they should remove the name “Muslim” from the party name if they have leaders like him. I protest that… In the name of Muslim/Islam people are doing all things of ill staff now days. We can’t let this happen any more.

He must be tried for toppling the democratic government and supplying illegal weapons to Sri Lanka to kill the innocent civilians.
First sensible decision, a thought through decision lacking the usual rhetoric and jingoism. The next best step would be an honorable retirement from politics along-with Nawaz, Asfandyar and Zardari.
Gentlemen you have played your innings. Its time now to hang gloves.
Could someone knock some sense into the senior elderly lady politician from KPH and advice her to act in a more dignified way.

We may be somewhat disappointed only because we have to wait some more. Otherwise with you with renewed vigour. Be safe. Both PPP and PML(N) are now terrified. The only issue that keeps them together is to prevent you from coming back so that they can handle PTI by itself. Relax and wait, there is plenty on the plate for these rascals and their end is near. Inshallah.
With you Musharraf, more then ever before !
tareekh pr tareekh , tareekh pr tareekh , lool he will nt return
