Islamabad: Former Pakistan military ruler Pervez Musharraf has accused his successor as army chief, Ashfaq Pervez Kayani, of being the ‘principal offender’ in a treason case filed against him.
Musharraf said General Kayani became the chief of army staff on November 27, 2007, but he did not revoke the emergency. “By not revoking the same, General Kayani is also a principal offender.”
He claimed he invoked the November 3, 2007 emergency after holding consultations with General Kayani — then vice chief of army staff and the senior civilian and military hierarchy. This is the first time that Musharraf has directly dragged Kayani into the emergency issue.
