Saudi Arabia has denied it has a plane waiting for taking former president Pervez Musharraf to the Muslim Kingdom, a press report said on Tuesday, amid speculation Riyadh could offer him asylum. The Saudi ambassador to Pakistan, Ali Awad Esseiri, said media reports that there was a Saudi plane in Islamabad ready to transport Musharraf were "baseless claims" and "media lies", the Okaz newspaper reported.
"Saudi Arabia has been and continues to look out for the security, stability and sovereignty of Pakistan and will not interfere in its internal affairs," he was quoted as saying.
