Sharif demands Parliamentary interrogation
Monday, October 13, 2008 07:43 [IST]

Lahore: Former Pakistan premier Nawaz Sharif today renewed his demand for bringing ex-President Pervez Musharraf to trial for his actions during his nine-year rule and said the former ruler should be summoned to the Parliament to reveal agreements forged with the US in the war on terror.

Addressing a function at his estate at Raiwind on the outskirts of Lahore to mark the ouster of his government by Musharraf in a military coup in 1999, Sharif said the former President should be summoned to parliament to disclose details of agreements he had forged with the US for the war on terror.

While reiterating his demand for Musharraf to face trial for his actions, Sharif said the former military ruler should also tell the nation how many so-called terrorists were handed over to Western countries during his regime.

Musharraf should be interrogated by the parliament regarding the violation of the constitution and the oath he had taken as the army chief and he must be tried for his misdeeds, Sharif said.

Musharraf stepped down from the post of President in August to avoid impeachment by Pakistan's ruling coalition.

Expressing concern at the increased cross-border attacks by US forces in Pakistan's tribal areas, Sharif called for evolving an anti-terror policy of national consensus. He said the issue of militancy in the tribal areas should be resolved through a political dialogue.

Sharif, whose PML-N party was part of the PPP-led ruling coalition till August, also claimed credit for the restoration of democracy in the country. He said the PML-N has sought an in-camera joint session of parliament for evolving a counter-terror policy of national consensus.
