Lawmakers belonging to Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), Mutahidda Qaumi Movement (MQM) and Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT) approached the All Pakistan Muslim League (APML) and assured their extensive support for party chief Pervez Musharraf.

Political advisor and close aide of the general in trouble, Chaudhry Sarfraz Anjum Kahlon said that several senior lawmakers including representatives of PTI and MQM had privately conveyed their dismay over Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s stance on Musharraf and had provided assurances of extensive support for Musharraf.

The advisor said that these lawmakers sympathised with Musharraf and some of them had worked in his former government.

Kahlon said PAT leader Dr Tahirul Qadri, who had worked closely with Musharraf, had conveyed his displeasure over Musharraf’s treason case. He said it would be an uphill task for Pakistan Muslim League – Nawaz (PML-N) to initiate a treason case against Musharraf based on a personal grudge.

Musharraf’s aide also said that “no one should underestimate the strength of Musharraf” and that “as a Pakistani soldier, he is determined to face all challenges with dignity and courage”.

He further said that Musharraf must be given credit for “the unprecedented step of voluntarily returning to Pakistan to face all politically motivated cases without any form of a deal in place,” adding that “if the rule of law is upheld, Musharraf will eventually be acquitted in all the cases.”

According to the PAT official spokesperson, a high level delegation of PTI will be visiting the PAT office to discuss the country’s political scenario, particularly Musharraf’s treason case.

  1. Article 6 Must be applied to every one not only person.why not Zia and others only implement on Musharraf sb.it might will be a case of killing two birds with one stong.Strongly condemn the PMLN act.

  2. Nawaz Sharif was instrumental in removing Bhutto and then Jonejo and supporting Zia Ul Haq. Nawaz Sharif was a progeny of Zia's Martial Law and was anointed Chief Minister of Punjab in support of the Zia Martial Law. He should be tried under Article 6 also. Many members of his party are also aiders and abettors
