The All Pakistan Muslim League (APML) ruled out the possibility of a clandestine deal to free former president Pervez Musharraf on Thursday, arguing that it would not compromise the party’s political future over the issue, its senior leader Chaudhry Sarfraz Anjum Kahlon said.
Kahlon, a political adviser to Musharraf, said that the APML had decided in principle to get the court to release its top leader and preempt other forces from intervening in the due process. The courts, according to Kahlon, are independent and will give a fair trial.
Already, he said, the party had devised a strategy regarding the cases. This strategy will soon prove fruitful in securing the honourable release of the party’s chief from house arrest.
He warned that his party would not bow before anyone and would face the courts to prove the party chief’s innocence, as that was the only rightful way.
He added that many influential people had approached the former dictator upon his arrival, and had also requested him to avoid returning to Pakistan, but Musharraf, who is a patriotic Pakistani having served the military for thirty odd years, decided to come back and serve the people.
Kahlon also said that it was unfortunate that Musharraf was not allowed to contest the polls.
However, he added that the former president was determined to serve the people. He also revealed that at the moment many forces had approached to provide Musharraf a safe passage abroad but the latter had decided to face the courts.
