The hearing of high treason case against former president General (r) Pervez Musharraf was adjourned on Tuesday till September 9.
It should be mentioned here that the judges, viewing the volatility of the situation in the federal capital, postponed the hearing without being solicited to do so.
According to sources, the prosecution and Musharraf’s counsels were formally informed about the decision.
Tuesday’s hearing was fixed by a special court of Islamabad almost a week back when the judicial proceedings were not carried out on a plea filed by Musharraf’s counsel Farogh Nasim.
In his petition, Nasim had appealed to the court to adjourn the hearing for at least two months, pleading that all the roads leading to Red Zone area have been barricaded owing to the sit-ins by protestors of Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT) and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI).
However, the court had fixed the hearing for September 2 but later, of its own accord, the court again deferred the hearing, keeping in view the security hazards around Constitution Avenue.
Shame on Pakistan for treating a true visionary and patriot in such a manner.
Long live Pervez Musharraf.
