Loud Thinking

Is the confession of Pervaiz Musharraf enough for his treason trial?

It is very interesting to note that Musharraf recently himself has admitted giving permission for the drone strikes on Pakistan, albeit, selective ones?

The main point here is that the President, the PM, the parliament and the military leadership have always agreed and said that drones are violation of Pakistan’s sovereignty; and illegal as per international law.

Almost every other day our foreign office spokesman condemns drone attacks on our soil. We should remember, that many retired generals who served under Musharraf, have repeatedly said that they were not consulted on Kargil war; and WOT permissions to America.

Now, after the confession of Musharraf about the drone attack permissions to USA, the statements of those generals have automatically proved true. Particularly, the foreign office and MOD’s briefings to many Pakistani COURTS and even the parliament that there existed no agreement with USA about giving permission, to attack Pakistan with drones.

Now, isn’t the confession of Musharraf, a fit case for crime against the nation and makes him liable for a trial for treason?

I would request the legal experts to kindly dwell on this important national case, wherein, a ruler by-passing all national establishments and parliament, allowed America, ALONE in his capacity as the ruler, to attack Pakistan.
