I will be back to 'harm's way' by 30th : Musharraf


Addressing (via video link) a rally of the All Pakistan Muslim League (APML) in Mazar-e-Quaid ground in Karachi, Pervez Musharraf, the APML chief and former president, said he would return to Pakistan because he is not the one who could be scared. He said he fought wars and never should anyone expect that he could be cowed down. He announced that on return he would contest elections from Chitral. He said he knows the culture and politics of Pakistan better than anyone else. The APML chief announced that he would return to Pakistan on January 27 or January 30. He said he would like to land in Karachi.  Pervez Musharraf said his government had brought about development in the country. He said the people should recall his tenure as president. “Daily-use items such as sugarm wheat flour, oil, gas and petrol were readily available on cheaper rates. Investment was increasing. The expatriates were finding opportunities in Pakistan to be able to return.” He said he played the innings for the country for over 10 years. “So all those who talk of playing innings must know that I have played a long innings and delivered,” Musharraf said, adding that he would return to Pakistan for the people of Pakistan. "Had it been for me, I could choose to stay abroad, but I intend to return and walk into difficulties because I want to steer the country out of mess."  Musharraf said that today trains are being closed down, the PIA is shambles, foreign borrowing is on the rise, the institutions are at odds. He said the people are disappointed in these circumstances. He said his party would tackle all these issues. Musharraf also said he knows that certain politicians are visiting Balochistan and trying to implicate him regarding the killing of Nawaz Akbar Bugti. He said he considered the Balochs and the Tribals as brave people. He said all such politicians want to keep the Baloch nation in poverty. He said he had always been against the anti-Pakistan people. "I will always be the enemy of people who hate Pakistan and who burn Pakistani flag," Musharraf said.
