Summary Musharraf denied all charges read out against him during hearing of the treason case today.
KARACHI (Web Desk) – Senior leader of the Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) Farooq Sattar on Monday said that he doesn’t see requirements of justice being fulfilled in the treason case against ex-president Pervez Musharraf, Dunya News reported.
“I think the provision of justice should not be selective, it’s tantamount to compromising on serving the justice as we see in Musharraf’s trial. The requirements of justice must be fulfilled indiscriminately,” the MQM leader said.
The MQM leader said decisions on the basis of personal liking and disliking are not favourable for the country.
Earlier today, Tahira Safdar, one of three judges hearing the case in a special court, read out five charges relating to Musharraf’s 2007 imposition of emergency rule, with the ex-president pleading “not guilty” to each of them.
The indictment makes Musharraf the first army chief to be tried for sedition in a country ruled by the military for more than half of its 67-year history.
During case proceedings today, Musharraf stood ramrod straight and replied “Not guilty” to each charge.
