Lahore, Nov. 12: Pakistan’s PPP-led government is considering a proposal to seek Interpol’s red corner notice against ex-military ruler, Mr Pervez Musharraf in a bid to bring him back from abroad to face treason charges, days after he called the party chief and President, Mr Asif Ali Zardari, “a criminal and a fraud”.
Mr Musharraf’s remarks about Mr Zardari, made in an interview to New Yorker magazine, have virtually united the PPP and main opposition PML-N on the issue of dealing with the former President, who has been living out of Pakistan since April.
“The government is seriously considering a proposal to ask Interpol to issue a red corner notice for Mr Musharraf so that he can be brought back here and tried for violating Article 6 of the Consti-tution which relates to treason,” said the PPP leader, Mr Raja Riaz.
