Former military ruler General (R) Pervez Musharraf has said that he is not scared of anyone but people are frightened of him.
Talking to his medical attendant, the former president said that no soldier of the country is frightened of death and his funeral will also be held in Pakistan, adding that he will not leave the country, reported a private TV channel.
Meanwhile, the former president showed signs of recovery and walked a little in his ward last night, after which he was shifted to the military hospital’s VIP ward from the ICU.
The former president is under treatment for heart problems. He was taken to a military hospital with complaints of chest pain on Thursday while on his way to face treason charges in a special court in Islamabad.
Musharraf’s spokesman Major General (R) Rashid Qureshi confirmed his recovery and said doctors collected more blood samples Saturday morning and few blood reports had been prepared.
A seven-member medical board constituted for Musharraf’s treatment has yet to decide whether or not the former army chief should be referred for medical assistance abroad.
The board has held consultation with doctors in the US and the UK and an initial report has been shared with them, sources said.
His possible cardiac arrest has ignited speculations about his exit from Pakistan.
