Musharraf poised to return to Pak politics | With the constitutional restrictions on him ending today (November 28), former Pakistan President General Pervez Musharraf has started planning his return for another
stint in his country's politics. According to sources, Musharraf is in constant
touch with his close aides to assess the political scenario of the country, and
has asked them to pave the way for his return. Musharraf, who is currently in
London on an unannounced exile, has been trying hard to bring his former supporters
together. The former general has already held several round of meetings with several
of his close associates in the PML-Q, including leaders of dissident group Hamid
Nasir Chatta, Saleem Saifullah Khan and Humayun Akhtar. Sources said Musharraf
has urged his close supporters to contact politicians for the formation of an
'unified' Muslim League excluding the Nawaz Sharif led Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz
(PML-N). According to the report, Musharraf is planning to floatt a new political
party and has recently "funnelled large sums of money into the coffers of former
aides to promote his cause". "These include former minister of information Sheikh
Rasheed, who ...has been paid 1 million dollars, the same amount that went to
a public relations team to boost Musharraf's image," the report said. The report
also revealed that former general has received millions of dollars in donations
from various corporate biggies and his close associates. |
