Senator Chaudary Shujaat Hussain revealed that the former president Gen (R) Pervez Musharraf took all the stakeholders on board before imposing an emergency on 3 November 2007.
Hussain was talking to a private news channel on Monday.
“Those who claim that the former president had not held a prior consultation are lying,” he said.
His party was in power in the federal capital when the 3 November 2007 emergency was declared by the former president.
Hussain also commented that the Prime minister should have consulted with his cabinet and should have reviewed the constitutional provisions in detail before making the decision of putting Musharraf to trial.
