Aug. 25: Pakistan’s former military ruler Pervez Musharraf is already considering to seize power, only a year after a marathon nine-year innings at the helm, informed sources said.
“Musharraf is planning a return to power. He is discussing it with his close aides. He is not done yet,” a source close to the former dictator told this newspaper.
The source said, Mr Musharraf, who quit in August 2008 under immense national and international pressure, has called a meeting of his cronies in Dubai to discuss his return.
“The date for the meeting has not yet been finalised but Mr Musharraf will be flying to Dubai from London this week and then will summon his close aides there,” the source said.
The source said Mr Musharraf held a meeting with his close political aides and some mayors in London recently and discussed with them his future political ambitions as his two years ban on political activities will expire in November this year.
The source said that the former ruling party Pakistan Muslim League (Quaid-e-Azam)’s secretary-general Humayun Akhtar Khan also held a meeting with Mr Musharraf in London.
Meanwhile, former Pakistan PM Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain has said that he will not make efforts to unify Muslim League factions as envisaged by Mr Musharraf.
“I can’t do it for Mr Musharraf. He is clearly backing the rebel group,” Mr Hussain was quoted as saying one of his close aides.
Mr Musharraf had reportedly made the offer during a meeting with Moonis Elahi, son of Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi, during the later’s visit to Mr Musharraf’s residence in London.
