Lahore, July 26 (ANI): Expressing full faith in the judiciary, former Pakistan President General Pervez Musharraf has said he hopes the Supreme Court would do justice with him.
In an interview with a private television channel, Musharraf said: “I don’t know what will come my way in the future, but hope the Supreme Court will do justice.”
Musharraf, who has been summoned by the Supreme Court to explain the legality of imposing emergency in the country on November 3, 2007, said he has no personal grudge against Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry.
The former military ruler also criticized the PPP-led government for abolishing the local government system, saying the step has ‘disappointed’ him, The Daily Times reported.
Earlier, Musharraf, defending his action of dismissing Chief Justice Iftikhar Mohammed Chaudhry in March 2007, said the decision was absolutely ‘constitutional and legal’.
He also endorsed President Barack Obama’s views that the Zardari government is fragile and unable to address the country’s problems.
“At the moment yes. That is correct. That is happening,” said Musharraf. (ANI)
