LONDON Former President Pervez Musharraf has decided to formally join politics and will start his political activities in the month of December.

The former military dictator had attained some important records before leaving the presidency which he has in his custody, said sources close to Musharraf.

The record is said to have agreements made before the departure of PML-N Chief Nawaz Sharif to Saudi Arabia, before signing NRO with the late Benazir Bhutto, telephone tapes of Nawaz Sharif and Benazir Bhutto regarding their returns and other relevant material.

The former president could expose all the facts and figures if PPP and PML-N push him towards the wall, said the sources.

On the other hand, the top leadership of the PPP has reportedly communicated to Musharraf that the party has no intention to take any action what so ever against him.

Pervez Musharraf is planning to use the platform of PML for his political activities and efforts are underway in this regard.—Online
