Lahore, Sept 18(ANI): Former military ruler Pervez Musharraf, who is currently in self-imposed exile, has contacted two foreign security agencies to 'take care of him' on his return to Pakistan.
"Musharraf is keen to return home come what may. For the purpose, he is finalising his security arrangements in Pakistan with a US and a UK security agency," the Dawn quoted Fawad Chaudhry, the spokesman of Musharraf's All Pakistan Muslim League (APML), as saying.
He said the army would also provide Musharraf foolproof security. "However, the APML will not take any chances with regard to the security of its leader," he added.
Musharraf is presiding over an APML meeting in Dubai on Sunday (today), where he will give a final shape to his planned homecoming and party matters.
Though the former president has announced that he will return to Pakistan by March 23, 2012, some of his party members told the paper that they would request him at Sunday's meeting to review the situation in Pakistan before taking the final decision.
Some party men believe that court cases against Musharraf are the main hurdle to his return to Pakistan. However, in the hope to settle these cases before his return, his wife, Sehba Musharraf, has challenged an anti-terrorism court decision against her husband.
The Rawalpindi ATC had ordered the seizure of Musharraf's property and freezing of his bank accounts, besides declaring him an absconder in the Benazir Bhutto murder case last month.
"Begum Musharraf has filed a petition against the ATC verdict, as the APML has unanimously decided that its head should face all cases in Pakistan so that he faces no case on his return," the spokesman said.
At Sunday's meeting, Musharraf will also consult the office bearers about his plan to make Dubai the APML headquarters till his return to Pakistan.
"Musharraf is considering shifting to Dubai next month to look after party affairs from there," Chaudhry said. (ANI)
