Musharraf's trial for treason 'writing on the wall': PML-N

Islamabad, Sep.18 (ANI): The Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) has said that former President General Pervez Musharraf's trial under the high treason act is inevitable and warned the Pakistan People's Party (PPP) government against putting the demand of the former general on the backburner.

Talking to media persons on the issue, PML-N's central information secretary Ahsan Iqbal said : "Musharraf's trial is the writing on the wall," and added that the government should just initiate action the former general and leave the rest to the court of law.

Iqbal said all those who are trying to protect Musharraf would be considered 'equal partners in crime', and if the government continues its delaying tactics on the issue then people would take the matter into their hands as they did in the case of deposed judges.

"No one is authorized to pardon a person involved in heinous crimes," The Dawn quoted Iqbal, as saying.

He also asked the government to clarify its stand regarding the US claims that it has given three billion dollars to Pakistan as aid since President Asif Ali Zardari took charge. (ANI)
