Want to travel with Pervez Musharraf to Pakistan? Pay $2,500

ISLAMABAD - Former president Pervez Musharraf’s party has come out with a rate card for those wanting to join his entourage for his planned homecoming from self-exile – just $2,500 or about Rs 250,000.
On March 1, Musharraf announced that he intended to end his nearly four-year-long exilem, though a date was yet to be set for his return. However, his All Pakistan Muslim League party has already firmed up plans that will allow people to join his homecoming entourage.
$2500 will get you a confirmed one-way seat on the plane carrying 69-year-old Musharraf from Dubai to Pakistan. And the price includes invitation to a photo opportunity, reception and dinner in Dubai the night before departure.
If you don’t want to fly with him, $1,000 will allow you to attend dinner, reception and a photo opportunity in Dubai. $500 is for reception and photo opportunity while $250 will get you a hand-shake and photo opportunity with Musharraf in Dubai.
Journalists are required to pay a registration fee of $550 for travelling with Musharraf’s entourage.
The event, billed as “A unique opportunity to travel with General Musharraf to Pakistan”, has been organised by the US chapter of the APML.
Details have been posted on Eventbrite, a website that helps organise and sell tickets for such events.
Another event on the website says one can get into the VIP enclosure at the airport in Pakistan, where he will land, to receive and meet General Musharraf.
“Space is limited and admission is FREE. Available on a ‘first come, first serve’ basis”, the event details say.
The APML has also firmed up plans to challenge arrest warrants issued for Musharraf by several courts in connection with a raft of cases.

Some ppl are just too full of themselves.

Who does he think he is ? What would ppl get by having dinner with him ?

He is just another tin pot dictator and one among so many ex leaders of Pakistan who fled the country in self exile when their time was brought to a forced end.

They did not have the courage to stay behind in a nation they ruled and ruined leaving their cronies to run & ' soften up' for their return.

I cannot help but wonder why the ppl of pak allow themselves to be made suckers by the likes of such leaders who escape when things get hot ?

@ the subject , I still think he is too full of himself to expect ppl to pay to travel, dine & take pictures with him.

Those who do could only be servile and opportunity seekers who want to stay in the good books ' just in case'..

General Pervez Musharraf needs your money. Pakistan’s former military dictator and President, who on March 1 announced an end to his self imposed four-year exile, has put out a price-list for access.

So here’s what you need to shell out for a date with the General — $ 2,500 (Rs 1.37 lakh) will get you a ticket from Dubai to Pakistan for a trip with Musharraf later this month; $ 1,000 (Rs 54,780) will buy you dinner with him the evening before and for half that price, you could skip dinner to just attend the reception and score a photo op.

If all you desire is a handshake and photograph, you will have to pay $ 250 (Rs 13,700).

Journalists, meanwhile, are required to pay a flat registration fee of $ 550 (Rs 30,100) to accompany the India-born former dictator from Dubai to Pakistan.

The fundraiser, described as “a unique opportunity to travel with General Musharraf to Pakistan”, has been organised by his office and is being hosted on the popular US-based web ticketing firm, Eventbrite.

Musharraf had revealed on March 1 that he would return to Pakistan, most likely Karachi, within one week of the announcement of Pakistan’s election schedule.

Pakistan’s historic elections, which will mark the first time a civilian administration has completed a full term, are expected to be announced on March 16.

The workers of his party, the All Pakistan Muslim League (APML), said the fundraiser was the brainchild of the outfit’s US chapter.

Political analysts say the former President and his fledgling party are fringe players in the upcoming elections. “Musharraf will have to face the courts in various cases registered against him, including the attack on the Lal Masjid and (the assassination of Baloch leader) Nawab Akbar Bugti,” Pakistan People’s Party senator Faisal Raza Abidi said.
