Islamabad, June 8 (TNS): Former prime minister\u00a0Nawaz Sharif\u00a0on Friday\u00a0questioned\u00a0the\u00a0conditional approval\u00a0being given to\u00a0former military dictator Pervez Musharraf\u00a0to contest elections\u00a0despite\u00a0facing\u00a0charges\u00a0of\u00a0high treason\u00a0in the country.<\/p>\n
Interacting with media outside an accountability court here, where he was attending a hearing of Avenfield properties reference against his family, Sharif asked, “Where is the law and the Constitution now, where is Article 6 and all the cases [against Musharraf]?”<\/p>\n
On Thursday, the Supreme Court of\u00a0Pakistan\u00a0asked Musharraf to appear before it on June 13 and assured him that he would not be arrested upon appearance.<\/p>\n
“We will pass an order ensuring authorities do not arrest the former president before his appearance in court,” Chief Justice Mian Saqib Nisar said.<\/p>\n
The\u00a0Pakistan\u00a0Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) supremo lamented that everything that was happening in the country was in non-compliance with the law.<\/p>\n
“I am not even getting a three-day exemption to go see my [ailing] wife,” said Nawaz.
\nHe further said that Musharraf was involved in the Akbar Bugti murder and the May 12 carnage.<\/p>\n
“Musharraf went against the Constitution on two occasions [yet he was given a conditional guarantee] while I was disqualified [from holding office] for life,” he said.<\/p>\n
