Former president Pervez Musharraf claimed on Monday that former army chief Gen (r) Raheel Sharif influenced the government to end legal cases against him.
“The government was influenced by the army to end cases against me. The judiciary was influenced by the government to have the cases ‘move’ in my favour,” Musharraf claimed during an interview to a private news channel.
The statement comes weeks after General (r) Raheel Sharif was replaced after completing his three-year tenure.
Earlier in October, Musharraf had claimed that the military had helped him leave the country.
In an interview with The Atlantic in Washington DC, Musharraf had said that Pakistani social fabric was not made for democracy.
“Reasonably fair,” he replied when Robert Siegel, the interviewer asked him: “You are an army guy; the army looked after you. You were able to leave despite the government’s efforts to keep you there, fair (assumption)?”
“Army has always had a role since our independence (on August 14, 1947). Army has played a prominent role in the governance of Pakistan, partially, because, or mainly because of misgovernance by all of the so-called democratically elected governments,” he had said.
