ISLAMABAD: Former president General (retd) Pervez Musharraf is not willing to get an angiography from Pakistan and wishes to go abroad for treatment, Express News reported Friday.

Musharraf’s medical report, which was submitted to the special court in Islamabad today (Friday), stated that the former president should get an angiography as soon as possible.

The report, which Express News has obtained, stated that Musharraf is not willing to get an angiography in Pakistan as the cardiac support system in the country is not up to standard.

It further stated that Musharraf’s health is such that a heart attack could be “life-threatening”.

The government’s prosecutor objected to the findings of the medical report, which was submitted by a four-member medical board headed Maj General Syed Muhammad Imran Majeed.

The court had ordered that a copy of the report be given to Musharraf’s lead counsel Sharifuddin Pirzada and member of the prosecution team Nasiruddin Nayar earlier today.

His lawyer Anwar Mansoor had requested the court that the former president’s report be kept secret.

Sheikh had disagreed, stating that Musharraf is a public figure and his report should be made public. He said that the court should not submit any decision that is against the constitution, adding that the prosecution knows that Musharraf is in good health.

Musharraf’s advocate Ahmed Raza Kasuri also accused the government’s prosecutor of hosting an event for the media in order to turn them against him.

The former president’s counsel said that Musharraf’s other medical report had already been made public and was still available on the website of a private news channel, asking the court to order that it be taken down.

The treason hearing has been adjourned and will reconvene on January 29.

Musharraf was accused of treason under Article 6 for suspending, subverting and abrogating the Constitution, imposing an emergency in the country in November 2007 and detaining judges of the superior courts. Even as the hearing for the treason trial stretches into its second month, the former military ruler is no closer to an appearance before the special court.

The 70-year-old had fallen ill and was taken to the Armed Forces Institute of Cardiology in Rawalpindi on January 2 as he was being transported under heavy guard to the court and is continuing his treatment there.

Musharraf counting on foreign friends for escaping from Pakistan

Former Pakistani President General Pervez Musharraf seems to be banking upon the review petition against the Supreme Court's order in the high treason case, as well as some political deal under discussion with his foreign friends for his escape from the country.

Although Musharraf has consistently been saying that he will face all cases instituted against him, he is not appearing before the special court, constituted to decide the high treason case against him, the Nation reports.

According to the report, if the review petition is accepted, the treason case will come to an end.

Musharraf has been trying to go abroad on the pretext of medical treatment since the hearing for the high treason case against him began early this month.

There were reports that a foreign deal is underway for Musharraf's rescue during the recent visit of the Saudi foreign minister to Pakistan.

However, the government has ruled out the possibility of allowing Musharraf to leave the country and also denied that any foreign country is playing any role in rescuing him.

If Musharraf can face Bugti,Benazir,Lal Masjid cases with such uppity than why dramay bazi in this case? It means he knows, there is a real chance he can get convicted in this case

My dear friend,
He had authority to take decisions at that time,but this time he is powerless.What do you expect from a powerless former military professional to do,who has jumped into politics?plus politics is a profession with dramay baazi as core base,which is an effective tool/skill of a politican to get you desired objective.A good actor can become a very good politican.
For example you can review profile and life Mr.Zardari and Mr.Hussein.I cannot imagine to see him following their legacy,as he was well known in tackling matters with iron fist.
-Regards

He will get convicted, mark my words. The military won't save him, no one will. If he dies, the courts will convicted him posthumous.

Can the civilians really dare to send a military guy, that to an ex-CAOS, to jail?

For the first time in Pakistan's history, the civilian and judicial authorities have the power to put the military in it's place. If they let him go, the military will never be put under civilian control. The only way for Pakistan's civilian leadership to gain control over the military is to see this through to the end.
