Nothing can be done legally against me: MusharrafHONG KONG: Former president Gen (r) Pervez Musharraf on Wednesday said that he was willing to face any cases on his planned return to Pakistan, but was sure that nothing could be done legally against him.
“I’m prepared to face that (any cases) for the sake of Pakistan. And I know since whatever I did has all the legal backing and legal cover, I’m very confident that nothing can happen legally against me,” Musharraf said, while speaking on the sidelines of an investor conference in Hong Kong.
He said he would announce the establishment of a new party, the All-Pakistan Muslim League, in London on October 1 and outline his political platform.
“My going back is dependent certainly on an environment to be created in Pakistan,” Musharraf said, but added, “I would say with certainty in the next elections, whenever the signs of the next elections come up, I will be there in Pakistan.”
He acknowledged he had lost popularity in Pakistan. However, he said he was confident he could rebuild a support base rooted in youth and others disillusioned with politics. agencies
