ISLAMABAD
Defence Minister Khawaja Asif on Monday reiterated the government’s offer to airlift former president Pervez Musharraf’s ailing mother to Pakistan from the UAE.
Speaking in the National Assembly session, the minister said, “We can bring Musharraf’s mother back to Pakistan by air ambulance. There will be a heavy price if we start showing leniency to criminals.”
“There is neither any pressure nor we will accept any in this case,” he said.
His comments came as a special court indicted the former president for the imposition of emergency rule in November 2007 and suspending the constitution.
The court also ruled that it was government’s jurisdiction to lift travel ban on the 70-year-old.
“We will accept any comply with the court order. Law is equal to all. Musharraf is a criminal,” he continued.
The defence minister said that those who voted in favour of the emergency rule would also be taken to task.
“The judiciary has turned our dream into reality about the rule of law,” he added.
Bank cashier by profession, made money through heroin smuggling in sports goods from Sialkot. Cannot speak clean language without using dirty abuses has now made a minister by sale / purchase of votes and constituencies. The biggest vagabond of Sialkot, who charges money to settle any problem / dispute. What a beauty of democracy?
