Bin Laden funded Nawaz for taking part in elections: Musharraf | Al-Qaeda chief Osama Bin Laden funded PML-N leader Nawaz Sharif for taking part in elections, former Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf has claimed.
According to a TV channel, Musharraf also said that Chaudhary Shujat and Pervaiz
Elahi were giving statements in frustration, The Nation reported. While addressing
the All Pakistan Muslim League (APML) convention in Toronto, the former military
ruler said that Richard Holbrooke's statement proves that he did not take orders
from the United States. However, Musharraf kept silent on the question asked by
the media regarding Dr. Imran Farooq joining the APML. Earlier this month, the
retired general had lashed out at Nawaz Sharif for his threats of trying him for
treason when he returns to power, saying that the PML-N chief would never see
that day. "As Nawaz knows that he will neither regain power nor will he be able
to try me in a court of law, therefore, he resorts to blowing this trumpet time
and again," Musharraf had said. He went on to say that Sharif had confrontations
with four army chiefs, two presidents and one chief justice while he was the prime
minister of Pakistan. While on one hand Nawaz chanted slogan of 'Jaag Punjabi
Jaag' to accumulate votes in Punjab and on the other hand, he had worn criminal
silence over the killings of Punjabis in Balochistan, said Musharraf.
