Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) chief Nawaz Sharif has said that the plight of former president Pervez Musharraf should serve as an example to other top brass who may be planning a takeover.
Nawaz recalled how the former army chief had toppled his government in a bloodless coup in 1999. He said Pakistan is undergoing a transition, adding that this accountability which is now taking place is itself a lesson to all those who have any such designs in the future, reports the Daily Times.
Nawaz also said the country should reconsider its support for the US war on militancy and suggested that he was in favour of negotiations with the Taliban.
Army offensives have weakened the Pakistani Taliban but they have failed to break the movement’s back. He said the military’s US-backed campaign against Taliban not best way to defeat insurgency.
Nawaz said he wants a review of the backing provided for the US war on militancy under the previous government’s approach.
