Musharaf should be dealt according to law: Nawaz

20 Apr, 2013

ISLAMABAD: PML-N Chief, Mian Nawaz Sharif on Saturday said that former president Pervez Musharaf should be dealt according to the law of the land.

Musharaf had violated the law of the country by damaging the institution of judiciary and dismissing an elected government on October 12, he claimed while talking to a private TV channel.

Replying to a question, Nawaz said that law should be equal for every individual of the country.

He urged the people to elect democratic forces, considering their role in the past, in next elections.

The people of the country had right to elect their real representatives in forthcoming elections, he said.

Nawaz Sharif said his party would decide the name for the office of Prime Minister if it came into power in the upcoming elections.

Nawaz claimed that his party would resolve all the issues of the country if people supported PML-N in the elections.

Nawaz urged collective efforts of all political parties to face the challenges of Pakistan including terrorism. He suggested that negotiation should be held with Taliban to maintain peace and tranquility in the country.

Nawaz hoped that elections would be held in a free, fair and transparent manner. The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) was functioning according to the Constitution, he said.
