Pervez PervMusharraf
... former dictator of Pakistain, who was less dictatorial and corrupt than any Pak civilian government to date ...
will accept whatever decision the Supreme Court takes on Friday about his arrest.
Speaking at a presser after the Islamabad High Court rejected the former military ruler's plea for bail before arrest on Thursday, APML secretary general Dr Mohammad Amjad denied that Gen Musharraf had fled from the court and said he had been taken to his farmhouse in Chak Shahzad only to protect him from agitated lawyers on the court's premises.
"The Supreme Court is our last hope and we believe that it will provide justice to Gen Musharraf and, if not, he will surrender himself," he said.
The escape of the former president from the court has raised many questions about the role of the caretaker set-up and its failure to arrest him soon after the rejection of his bail plea by Justice Shaukat Aziz Siddiqui of the IHC.
"After the court's decision no police came to take Gen Musharraf into custody and some agitated lawyers tried to attack him.
Therefore, he was taken to his farmhouse," Mr Amjad said.
