@Mohammad Akhtar - Interior minister job is only stressful if someone is incompetent and depends only on photo opportunity with statement otherwise, its a job with vision and decision making ability . I hope government pick all the ministers with above mentioned qualities not just their friends and family members.

All his medical records need to be made public. No treatment or heart surgery in London. On state's chit. No private plane. Fly PIA. Just like anyone else. Must use his own money for transportation and hospital stay.

Musharraf and Nisar should leave together and get themselves treated in a foreign country where better medical facilities are available than Pakistan. Many Pakistanis as well as establishments too would be relieved by their exit.
