Musharraf announces January 2012 return
LAHORE: All Pakistan Muslim League (APML) President Pervez Musharraf announced on Sunday that he will come back to Pakistan in January 2012.
Addressing a videoconference in Lahore from London, APML President stated that the solution for Pakistans prevailing challenges do not lie in undemocratic initiatives and that military intervention into politics would be fatal for Pakistan and its people.
The APML arranged a public gathering at Nasir Bagh Lahore, where party workers from across the country had gathered to listen to Musharrafs address.
APML President asserted that the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) and Army guarantee Pakistans solidarity and sovereignty and added that some elements were conspiring to defame the ISI and Pakistans security forces.
Commenting on the performance of the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) and the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) in the current government, Musharraf said that both the leading political parties had been in power twice but had delivered nothing to the masses.
Musharraf urged that the people of Pakistan should cast their votes regardless of their caste and creed, linguistic, religious and provincial prejudices.
Endorsing the demand of Pakistan Tehreek-e- Insaaf (PTI) chairman Imran Khan, Musharraf said that politicians should submit details of their assets.
I will provide details of my assets on my arrival in Pakistan, Musharraf reiterated.
The APML President also said that Pakistan was engulfed into crisis due to incompetent rulers and amidst these hard times, any institution of the country solely cannot steer the country out from the current crisis.
I led Pakistan towards prosperity and stabilized the economy of the country during my regime and boosted the image of the country worldwide, APML President said.
I will soon be among my countrymen and the elements who levelled allegations against me should gather evidences, as they have failed to prove even a single corruption allegation against me, Musharraf challenged.
APML President also said that only the people of Pakistan can bring change in the country.
