Musharraf to meet Pak parliamentarians in UAE

Dubai, April 03: With his two year ban from active politics coming to an end, former Pakistan president Pervez Musharraf who was forced to quit office is considering his options to float a political party and will meet lawmakers from his country here.

“At least 35-40 parliamentarians of different political parties are to meet the former general,” an aide who spoke on the condition of anonymity said.

“A political party is in the realm of speculation, but talks have not yet reached a decisive phase,” he added.

“Musharraf is going to be in the UAE for the next 10 days during which he will hold discussions with leaders of different political parties,” he further said.

Reports emanating from Islamabad had earlier said that a political party was to be launched in Dubai on April 2 by the former president.
