ISLAMABAD (AFP): Pakistan will arrest former military ruler Pervez Musharraf should he return as announced at the end of the month from three years of self-imposed exile, the interior minister said Wednesday.
“I assure this house that if he lands in Pakistan, he will be arrested because he is a PO (proclaimed offender),” Rehman Malik told the upper house of parliament.
“There are three registered cases against him. He has been named in these cases, so ultimately he will be arrested.”
In a telephone address to a political rally in Pakistan’s largest city of Karachi on January 8, Musharraf promised to fly home between January 27-30 to contest general elections now widely expected later this year.
“I’ll land in Karachi despite all sorts of dangers to my life,” he said.
“I can sacrifice my life if need be for the people of Pakistan.”
Musharraf seized power in 1999 in Pakistan’s third military coup, becoming the country’s fourth military ruler.
