Musharraf delays return to Pakistan
19 January, 2012
ISLAMABAD: Pakistan's former military ruler and President Pervez Musharraf may delay his planned return from self-imposed exile after Islamabad warned that he would be arrested, a close aide said Thursday.
Mohammad Amjad, senior vice president in Musharraf's All Pakistan Muslim League, told AFP that "no final decision had yet been taken" but said the retired general would make an announcement on his plans "later, perhaps today".
"His friends and party officials want him to postpone it for sometime. This was discussed yesterday at a meeting and conveyed to him," Amjad said.
Musharraf had promised to fly home between January 27-30 to contest general elections now widely expected within months as Pakistan's civilian government sinks deeper into a major crisis, squeezed by the military and the judiciary.
On Wednesday, Interior Minister Rehman Malik told the upper house of parliament that Musharraf would be arrested if he lands in Pakistan.
"There are three registered cases against him. He has been named in these cases, so ultimately he will be arrested," Malik said.
End.

Busharraf is lucky he will be arrested openly before the world. The people arrested by him usually ended up in dark dungeons in all corners of the earth chosen by his masters, and were subjected to incessant torture. (By the way they are the same people who are currently telling us all rubbish about Syria, Tunisia, Libya & Egypt. The same people who told us lies they had manufactured in Washington DC and are repeating the same lies in the case of Iran, i.e, Saddam had WMDs and now Iran is producing the same).
Would you suggest that Busharraf should be subjected one day a week to the torture his victims were subjested to all the time?

I love you Musharraf. You convert to Islam and escape punishments. There is also a provision of blood money in our great holy books. You may also think of joining Taliban or Northern Alliance and be in a position to bargain with any government. Or you can kidnap some influential person and apply conditions to the government for withdrawal of all cases.
