PML-N blames PPP for 'not being interested' in Musharraf's trial

Islamabad, Sep. 9 (ANI): PML-N Information Secretary Ahsan Iqbal has said that the PPP backed out of its promise on trying former President Pervez Musharraf.

The Dawn quoted Iqbal as saying that the PPP had agreed to prosecute Musharraf in the past but now it seemed that the PPP is not interested bringing the former dictator to book.

Rejecting claims that the PML-N was taking a soft stance on the issue, Iqbal said PML-N Chief Nawaz Sharif on Monday renewed his demand for Musharraf's trial under Article-6 of the Constitution.

Responding to a question on Saudi Arabia's role in Musharraf's prosecution, Iqbal said: "It is better not to involve Saudi Arabia in this issue." (ANI)
