SUKKUR: Leader of the Opposition in the National Assembly Khursheed Shah on Saturday lashed out at former military strongman General (r) Pervez Musharraf, saying he should return to the country and face the cases against him rather than passing statements from a foreign country.
“Return to the country like Benazir did, do politics like Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto did and spend time in prison like Asif Ali Zardari did,” said the opposition leader while addressing a public gathering.
“We didn’t go abroad, we aren’t scared,” said Shah taunting the former president’s self-imposed exile.
Shah also questioned the timing of Musharraf’s statements and asked why the former president remained quiet for 10 years.
Shah also said that attempts are being made to cause a rift between the parliament and the institutions.
“Those trying to weaken the parliament are not sincere to Pakistan,” said Shah, adding that the country will progress when people will get their rights.
