This is with reference to the news (March 20) that advocate Tariq Hussan in Islamabad, has submitted a petition in the Supreme Court calling for former president Gen Pervez Musharraf's name to be placed on Exit Control List (ECL).

In his petition the lawyer has appealed to prevent Gen Pervez Musharraf from traveling outside the country.

According to him, the former army chief had been advised by aides that he should leave the country as Lal Masjid operation case could be heard now following the restoration of Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry.

Gen Pervez Musharraf should be tried for the following charges.

1)Missing persons

2) Drone attacks

3) Remarks against ex-servicemen

4) Power shortage

5) Use of camp office accommodation after the entitled period.

Hence Ex-President Pervez Musharraf's name should remain on ECL till such time he faces all the aforementioned charges.
