Interior Ministry responds to Pervaiz Musharaf security request

ISLAMABAD- The interior ministry has responded to the plea by Musharraf’s lawyer requesting security, mentioning that it is willing to provide security to him.

The notification in its response to the letter sought the details of the former president’s travel itinerary and ‘his stay here in Pakistan so that necessary foolproof security arrangements can be made for him well in time’.

In reaction to the notification, Musharraf's lawyer expressed reservations over the security arrangements to be provided by the government.

On Friday, the special court hearing the treason case against former president Musharraf ordered the federal government to put special measures in place to bring the ex-military ruler back from the United Arab Emirates.
