What Musharraf said in court today... I honor this court and prosecution, I strongly believe in law and dont have ego problems, and I have appeared in court 16 times in this year in Karachi, Islamabad and Rawalpindi, the 70-year-old, who ruled Pakistan from 1999 to 2008, said. Appearing fit and confident, he made an emotional speech highlighting the countrys achievements under his tenure. I am being called a traitor, I have been chief of army staff for nine years and I have served this army for 45 years. I have fought two wars and it is treason? I am not a traitor. For me traitors are those who loot public money and empty the treasury, he added. He said that he doesn’t expect justice from the incumbent government. He questioned that are those Sadiq’ and ‘Ameen’ who are sitting is assemblies? “Where is justice, why only I’m being blamed alone?” After the hearing, chief prosecutor Akram Sheikh said Musharrafs main defense rested in the claim that he acted on the advice of then-prime minister Shaukat Aziz and the cabinet when suspending the constitution. He has taken the defense that he did not take these steps independently, Sheikh said.
