*ISLAMABAD - **PML N top leader breaks silence over the death penalty verdict against former president Pervez Musharraf.*
*Senior PML-N leader Pervaiz Rashid opposed on Friday death penalty to former military dictator Pervez Musharraf, saying he was not in favour of capital punishment.*
“As a human, I don’t like someone is sentenced to death,” the PML-N leader said. “I am against death penalty.”
He, however, said that he was satisfied with the special court’s verdict against Musharraf. Abrogating the constitution is a crime, Rashid added.
Musharraf was allowed to leave the country for medical treatment in the PML-N government’s tenure.
Rashid claimed the former military dictator was allowed to go abroad on the recommendation of ex-army chief Raheel Sharif. He said the PML-N government didn’t have the power to stop him.
