Reference to indictment of convict Musharraf and spin doctoring by few in media and those on his payroll. It is time that political opportunists, men without any honour or conviction, and paid elite public office holders serving in civil and uniformed services stop ridiculing Pakistan, making a mockery of its constitution and its laws.
Those who have benefitted most from this unfortunate country, made fortunes through abuse of power, allotment of state lands and kickbacks in procurement deals, have made it a practice to abandon this country, once out of power, adopt foreign residential status, leading lives of luxury and insist on claiming immunity from prosecution and accountability. Pakistan has been subjected too often to ridicule by its so called elite and it is time such abuses be stopped, otherwise chaos, insurgencies and terrorism will be its fate.
Those who justify that Musharraf be allowed to go Scot free, must understand that this country has given him honour and monetary compensation for serving in armed forces and this cannot be used as a ploy or passport to abrogate or suspend constitution, arrest judges and acts that constitution defines as treason. If individuals accused of such heinous crimes can be exempted from accountability on excuses of sickness of self or close blood relatives, like a mother, than every murderer, rapist, robber and thug can claim such exemptions on basis of such precedents. The honour, prestige and sovereignty of Pakistan is far more sacrosanct than ego of any individual, to whichever institution he belongs, and whatever services he may have rendered in past.

Good take on. Musharraf must stand trial in Pakistan. Indictment should rule out all other possibilities. this discussion must end now. Let the Court decide his fate. It is the victory of the justice system in our country that he has finally appeared and has been indicted according to law. Let the triak proceed, and wsit for the out come.
