Get well soon General we love you and we know you will inshallah come back.

Medical Treatment, yeah right !

He says few weeks or few months. Which may mean 30-40 weeks or 30-40 months. Thankfully he did not include "few years"

Good Job done Ch Nisar. The only person in Pakistan politics who is not into taking revenge.

Get well soon General. It is ironic that people who spent whole of their life fighting and serving Pakistan are being victimized by fools and corrupts. Whether you come back or not, your government era is regarded as the best till now. God be with you.

This is not a simple decision. Mega intrigue and plan of the positive type. The changes in the next 6 months will hopefully be the start of the rise of Pakistan, as all moderates and sane people would like to see.

He's not coming back

Even though all the cases against Musharraf are politically motivated I do not understand why the elite in Pakistan have to go abroad for all kinds of medical treatments when we have such good doctors, especially in the military hospitals.

Wish Mr. Musharraf good health and full recovery... As a soldier he did a great job defending our nation on all fronts... National reconciliation efforts worked after all... Kudos to PM, COAS and their respective teams…

Shame

Go, Went, Goooooone!

I will miss you, I probably will never see you again.

Honest is misfit in Pakistan

God bless him. Truly a brave and sincere leader. He returned once and will return again InshAllah

Only person I have ever seen in Pakistan who meets the international standards of ethics, integrity, honesty and commitment. He will come back if he says so. Other Pakistani politicians should learn from him instead of cowardly attacking him in groups. I am sure not even one politician can stand in front of him alone. Battle between a lion and hayenas.

Commando could not face even terribly weak justice system of his own country.

He is committed man.

He owns respect for our country...

Wish you speedy recovery and come back with vengeance to take care of unfinished business, you have done a lot for the country.

Inshallaha best of luck great Musharraf ,,,,

Get well soon, Sir

We need better healthcare facilities in the country; so that all the big shots can get treatment at their doorsteps without having to go abroad for "medical reasons "

Absolutely. That what he said last time.

A soft escape...

Thousands time salutes for Commando.

Good news Our nation do not deserve him He spent his whole life for Country but we did not gave him back

Yeah, for sure, he will return in a few weeks, or months, or in your lifetime (or his), when the conditions are favourable for his government to be formed.

Good luck General. Wishing you a speedy recovery. Please come back as we need you.

"I am a commando and I love my homeland. I will come back in a few weeks or months."- It probably will be few months, may be a year or two. As regards to commando, we know enough.

Always wonder what a city of a small country has where every elite of Pakistan eager to have medical check up, that a country of 200 million people with the best minds and best doctors in the world can't offer !

He aint coming back.

General Pervez Musharraf you are a soldier first, politician later, we repose trust in your words of a soldier who has promised to return home honorably and face charges, and get-over it(All cases and pending in the courts/face charges) like a brave soldier,"Musharraf told a DawnNews correspondent, "I am a commando and I love my homeland. I will come back in a few weeks or months." Bon vo·yage, Former President and General (Retired) Pervez Musharraf. Prove it to the Pakistani's and to the world that you really went abroad to, "undergo a surgery for a fractured vertebra," treatment for which he said "is not available in Pakistan."And that will make you man of your words and a future hero of Pakistani political party.

Your words will make you and APML a future political party to reckon with and make a huge difference in political system of Pakistani comman-mans life and its trust in political leadership.

What an irony. A man who fought 3 wars for his motherland and countless operations as a highly decorated commando and general has no place in his own country for him. This seems more like an army pressured political way out but I'm glad as a Pakistani that his ordeal is over. Regardless of personal differences in politics, the treason cases against him should never have come up as they made no sense. If only him and Imran khan for along, that would have been an epic combination of a visionary and a realistic leadership. Together they would and could take Pakistan to a level of development that we have not witnessed in our 70years.

it looks like something big is about to happened.

Dubai??!!. I thought he must be going to the USA (Where his son is in California or Boston, where his daughter is)!!. Dubai is not known for Medicine or Medical treatment. Something funny or fishy here!!.

Great news about Musharraf leaving the country as the country does not deserve a brave, honest and patriotic man. As this is not an honest man's country the only way you can survive in Pakistan is if you are corrupt.

You deserve what you have. Enjoy!!

Why not seek medical care in Pakistan, unless Pakistan does not have the required equipment then it makes sense. Almost all politicians of our country fly to other continents for the smallest treatments.

How weak we humans are?

@oz ... yes, unfortunately our politics is based upon muk muka

What's wrong with medical system in Pakistan? Why all the big boys going overseas for treatment? How about rest of the citizens of Pakistan? Do they all go to Dubai too? Do you see something wrong with this picture? Sixty nine years after this wonderful country was created the AMM ADMI still living in worst conditions then he was before 1947. Shame on the power brokers and the leaders:(

Yes, "I will come back in a few weeks or a few months or a few years or a few decades" , but I will come back, perhaps feet first.

He said bye Pakistan and my cases.

Next destination is UK or US. He will be keep talking about Pakistan Politics while in self exile.

Why no good hospitals for treatment? Common man has to go outside for same.

@Ahmed USA - Well said and agreed.

@Hassan Kamal - Well said and agreed.

as if there is no medical treatment available in Pakistan ...... what a joke!

Who wants to bet that commando is not coming back till next election, if at all

Medical treatment in Dubai? Really ? Is Dubai, a known destination for medical treatment ?

I respected this man until now. When millions cannot get any medical assistance our brave commando is leaving the country to get treatment abroad.

The only genuine leader in Pakistan from a corrupt lot.

Good bye general! At last NS govt bowed down

Great News Get well soon

" I 'll be Back "

If the Mr Musharraf cant get decent medical treatment in Pakistan where will average citizens go

He is not coming back ever

Gen (Retd.) Musharaf serve the Nation for 45 Years as Army Men save us from Threats. He initiated the Modernization of Military power e.g. JF 17 Thunder Project, Al Khalid, Al Zarrar Tanks, ANZA Air Defence, M109 Artiliry Guns, ATGMs, Agosta 90B Submarines, Efficient Missile series. He Make economy strong, and reduce the Forign Debt. Nation have great Respect to him..

Time will tell us if the General is a man of his words.

Pakistan must be the only nation that dishes out this kind of sordid treatment to its heroes an patriots. Shameful does not even begin to describe the manner in which he has been hounded merely because he had the courage of convictions and was determined to make Pakistan a better place. Sad, very sad.

When in power Pakistani rulers are healthy and happy; when out of power and in court, they pretend to be sick!!! It is sickening to see these openly deceitful tactics.

Is it only commandos who love their homeland?

Our leaders are so fragile that they can not be treated in Pakistan.

Will he come back or not, it doesnt matter now. He once come back despite all odds which shows his courage, that is enough test as far as his only courage is concerned.

His departure is a blessings in disguise for Pakistan and it's still to have roots democratic set up. His trial had the potential to create storm in Pakistan any time. Worst kind of civilian set up in Pakistan is better than autocracy. Autocratic rule in Pakistan has brought its federation to its thinnest limits.

We hope you will be fine soon and serve our nation as before. Unluckily Pakistan is in miserable condition in all respect. According to transparency international and Pakistani local unbiased expert, Pakistan's economy is on a sand castle, terrorism is unstoppable chain reaction, corruption is part of social life in all department. No policy for Education, Industrialization, Agricultural development, Power generation, dam construction, health and hospitals management, Family planning. All govt. ministers are busy with TV programs and question/answer session.

Good work done, not by his doctors but his legal team... Making a flight was his only option...bravo general!

PervezMusharraf all da world pin dropp silence whenever,wherever exchief n expresident speaks during his service. hi koi mushraaf jisa???

A man who evaded court-proceedings to fly two-hours flight to Islamabad, citing his poor health-condition, is now alright to take flight to Dubai (the UAE). Whatever happened to 'Pakistan First'!

we do not have such specialist, where is health minister and PMDC.

"to go abroad to "undergo a surgery for a fractured vertebra," treatment for which he said "is not available in Pakistan."

I think he is the most sincere and a brave person still respected by other leaders of the world. He is because he was in the army, not like all these fly-by-night leaders we have croaking in Pakistan. I attended one of his lectures in Dallas, a few years back, and I asked him if he would go back? to which he said, Pakistan is the only country I know and served, how can I abandon my motherland. Even though a lot of people were advising him against it, but he went back, to be house arrested.

Musharaff a highly principled man of integrity. He wuld most certainly return although after months rather than weeks.

@Naveed Jafri he was still brave enough when he came back. No one can even touch him

Government had no choice, They had to allow him to go abroad.

Great to see his back. These people have destroyed Pakistan.Arrogant to his bones.

A perfect example of "MIGHT IS RIGHT"

Musharraf didn't play with cubs to become brave instead he played with guns and bullets. He is man of his words not coward so he will be back. I wish him health.

Musharraf Zindabad

Get well soon. Tit for tat is what he had done at that time. He was forced to give resign so same he did with tjem at that time. What wrong sid he do. Anybody who is against him, just put yourself in his shoes and answer what you could have done if you were him.

And you'll never see him again.

Dubai is a place to party and surely a place get treated for regional political headaches.he will be up in EMMAR boulevard enjoying the view .

He is a man of commitment.He is sincere, honest and none of his family members are in politics.He is an ideal person to lead this country and the nation has started comparing his good qualities with his opponents(corrupt and incompetent)as well as the progress in the country in his era 2000-2007 and thereafter.So Mr Musharraf is surely going to come back to lead this country as we are tired of corrupt and incompetent so called leaders.

Faceless system - alas....

I do NOT believe he is coming back to Pakistan.

if the biggest accused has set free, then why others in jail for so called "accountability"let free the rest of the lot for medical asylum in Dubai. one message is clear and loud "Might is Right"

@Uncle_Sam then why Zardari said he is getting treatment in New York and Nawaz went to UK for simple heart procedure. If they both stay in Pakistan for treatment, then keep Musharaf here as well, if not then don't complain on him leaving.

Bon voyage! Stand at ease! Yeah, man, those old war injuries are a real pain. Some good Rest & recreation in the sunny Dubai could be the tonic you need! Also, now would be a good time to catch-up on reminiscing & lunching with x-PPP president AAZ. Time to buy any available beach-front farmland haveli. No worries! No hurry! Enjoy the sunshine! Best regards!

@Sarah yes, ofcourse, right.

@Naveed Jafri yes he is. He will prepare for next general election.

@Vasan He has every right to!

There are all medical treatment is present in pakistan but a person who could afford the foreign medical treatment then there is no law to him. As much as I learnt the character the Pervez Musharraf sahib he will come back.

@AAK

true.

I will be back....

@K.Shah If ex president can not get reasonable medical care in Pakistan what hope is there for a poor man? It is farcical leaders going overseas for treatment.

Pakistanis love General Musharraf. He has done a lots of good for Pakistan

Please don't come back this country does not deserves honest leader.

Then Musharraf in Power Nawaz flee to Dubai, Now Nawaz in power, Musharraf flee to Dubai.

good luck! he is the man of words will return.

It's a Mysterious typical political disease. Treatment only available abroad. This is the name of the game.

He is a man of commitment.He is sincere, honest and none of his family members are in politics.He is an ideal person to lead this country and the nation has started comparing his good qualities with his opponents(corrupt and incompetent)as well as the progress in the country in his era 2000-2007 and thereafter.So Mr Musharraf is surely going to come back to lead this country as we are tired of corrupt and incompetent so called leaders.

Logic says, if he were really all that sick he should have been taken straight to hospital instead of his house in Dubai.

A man who could not travel to reach the court building is fit to travel abroad! Amazing.

Wish him a good health. I am sure Commando will not vanish but come back and face the court as Mr. Zardari did.

Very Sorry about people of this nation ,specially media who treated Former president General (retd) Pervez Musharraf in such negative way.Reason because he serve this nation honestly.

@mhw I think he will not return and stay in Dubai until next elections.

Musharraf is an honest, sincere and true great leader. His name should never have been on ECL. Its a shame that we never give this person the due respect and honor that he deserves. Get well soon Sir, We all love you and pray for your health.

So Pakistan doesn't have modern medical facilities? Sorry to know about it.

Mushraaf is an ardent soldier and a man of his words,he will come back and surprise his opponents,he does not want a scar on his name during his lifetime.

I don't know why Dubai? Most Arabs who cannot find treatment in their own countries seek treatment in places such as US, Europe or even Thailand. Dubai is not exactly known for offering treatment for every ailment!

Wish you all the best. Our pray is with you for prompt and complete recovery from your illness. We will be waiting for you and well come you back to your beloved country. Your services is need of the time as the nation is going through tough time.

He didn't do a NRO to runaway like the Sharifs and won't do a NRO to come back like the Zardaris.

All the best General. You deserved better from us. Thanks for everything you did for the country. All of your decisions may not have worked out but at least they were taken in the right spirit.

A real great news. I wish Musharraf full recovery from his ailment. He will come back & get cleared in all cases. The nation needs him again as a front runner

A great leader with vision and targets not made for society and political environment liker ours.

@Naveed Jafri you will be embarrassed when he comes back,he is a man of principals who studied these principals from childhood while studying in a missionary school in karachi

The commando escaped.

Good Luck and have a speedy recovery. InshAllah.

We all pray for your quick recovery.

The last decent President, Pakistan was safer under his watch.

He is gonna come back, as he said.... Plus i agree with all who are in agreement that his tenure was at least the best in our lives in Pakistan and there is no Question about it...

Far better than corrupt politicians, at least every body knows Mr Mussharaf did't leave Dubai to buy any property.

Justice needs to be the same for all. Whether they are politicians or military officers. Can anyone claim that Musharraf didn't abrogate the Constitution of Pakistan, which, under Article 6, is a crime of treason? I despise almost all the politicians of Pakistan for their two-facedness. But when they undertake criminal activities, they hide it well. Musharraf's actions are undeniable. They can be proven NOT to be treason, on legal grounds, but the actual act itself cannot be deleted from history. With this kind of treatment for military personnel, who, in my opinion, should be held accountable to a far higher degree of loyalty and principles, than the unscrupulous politicians of Pakistan. He ran away today, because he has no legal grounds to stand on. Short and simple.

Good luck General. We know you love Pakistan. Get well

If I was in his place I would not go back to a country for which I gave my life and the thief governments I was trying to save it from had the audacity to try me for treason.

And when in power he could not build a single quality hospital. Get well soon but please do remember those who can't afford what u elite could

He is saying bye bye Pakistan forever,like his PM Shaukat Aziz

What will be the future of Pakistan if our Presidents & PMs (Musharaf, Zardai, Shaukat Aziz ) are our rulers.

Pakistan will wait for his come back.

He looked like a scared man not a brave General....

Now what has happened it is history. He eroded heavy mandate govt but same time the govt exceeded the limit of firing him without any charge sheet etc required under law. Means coup against him was initiated by the govt first. Had it because of Kashmir kargil war the system has a way of inquiry which should have been done. So now let him stay healthy wealthy and wise at the old age and take advice on difficult issues which may be of value with his particular view of the global scenario???

As a layman, I would guess that a fractured vertebra is something that might affect lots of people, especially soldiers. It is a serious matter, and quite surprising, if treatment is not available in Pakistan; steps ought to be taken to rectify things.

Country and people are better off. Thanks but no thanks.
