Musharraf can be arrested if Balochistan Govt requests: Malik | Pakistan Interior Minister Rehman Malik has said that if the Balochistan Government made a request for the arrest of former president Pervez Musharraf, action would be taken. Malik said that he was in contact with the Baloch leaders,
including Hairbyar Marri and Brahamdagh Bugti. He said Brahamdagh Bugti had been
hurt by the murder of his grandfather and he should be compensated. "We would
try to remove his complaints." He said the Balochistan government has not made
any demand for the arrest of Pervez Musharraf. He confirmed the statement of PPP
leader Fauzia Wahab that Nawaz Sharif was not arrested during the Long March under
the pressure of the US , The News reports. "On the day of the Long March, American
Ambassador Peterson phoned me, saying that the US is concerned about the expected
arrest of Nawaz Sharif. I told her that I will not issue arrest warrant for Nawaz
Sharif and offered him (Nawaz) three options, including provision of big screen
for speech wherever he wants, proper security wherever he wants to deliver speech
and if he wants to come to Islamabad he would be provided with helicopter and
address the sit-in at the government selected place." On which, Malik added, the
US envoy said okay. |
