Senators to file petition against MusharrafPESHAWAR: Several senators have decided to file a petition against former president Gen (r) Pervez Musharraf for illegal dissolution of the Senate following the October 12, 1999 coup.
The senators have also decided to “stoke the embers” and started consulting legal advisers over the issue, which could be put forth the Supreme Court after Eidul Azha.
The senators plan to get a compensation of three-year blocked salaries, allowances, since a Senate cannot be dissolved before its six-year tenure.
