LAHORE – Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz has strongly rejected truce offered by former President and chief of army staff general Pervaiz Musharraf, saying it is out of question and even absurd.
PML-N Chief Mian Muhamamd Nawaz Sharif and former President Musharraf developed animosity after latter sent Nawaz-led government packing in October 12, 1999. Both always exchanged salvo and have never sat down to reconcile. This is the first time that former general Musharraf offered an olive branch to PML-N, though without seeking pardon on what he did by toppling PML-N government and sacking CJP along with breaking constitution on November 3, to have a peace with party and party leadership.
However PML-N turned down the patch-up move. According to sources, former president Pervez Musharraf expressed his desire to make peace with Nawaz Sharif. PML-N senior leader Iqbal Zafar Jhagra said that Musharraf better to return country and face treason case against him under article 6.
“If court proves him innocent, which is impossible as he smashed the constitution, toppled a democratic government, killed the people in Lal Masjid carnage and held judiciary in abeyance and then PML-N would decide the strategy accordingly,” he added.
He said that PML-N had not a personal grudge against Musharraf but his acts and truce was of no value.
