Former President Pervez Musharraf Sunday termed the government's announcement to try him under Article 6 a desperate attempt to divert attention of masses from Rawalpindi carnage. According to All-Pakistan Muslim League (APML) sources, Musharraf has decided to courageously face the trial. He said that he had faced other cases against him in the courts and would face this trial as well in the same way.
The sources said that Musharraf watched the press conference of Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan at his farmhouse in Shahzad Town of the federal capital on Sunday evening along with his wife Sehba Musharraf, daughter Dr Ayla, son Bilal and other close relatives. Musharraf said that the Rawalpindi incident had revealed the inability of the federal and provincial government to control the law and order and the whole press conference was arranged against him to hide government's failure. He said that such accusations could not break him and force him to leave the country.
