Everyone wants a clean chit, so why should former President (also dictator) Pervez Musharraf be any different

Mush through a video link yesterday said he was all set to return but the Supreme Court order (you can read that here) forced him to change his mind.

“[Court order] barring the authorities from arresting me till my appearance before the august court has forced me to rethink my plans about return” — Pervez Musharraf

He also said: “There will be no benefit of my return to the country if I am arrested just after my appearance before the court."

And added: “The entire world knows that I am not a coward, but now I will wait for an appropriate time to return."
