ISLAMABAD - The government will not make former president Gen (Retd) Pervez Musharraf’s life tougher as long as he stays out of politics, Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani said on Sunday. “Musharraf is history and the people have rejected him in the February elections,” Gilani told a Turkish paper in an interview adding that his government is pursuing a policy of national reconciliation instead of unleashing a process of victimisation.
Until Gilani needs a scapegoat, that is ... | “We want to focus on current problems and future projections such as terrorism, poverty, hunger, disease, health and education, instead of raking up the past”, he said.
“At present he (Musharraf) is keeping a low profile. If he is not politically active, then we would not want to open too many fronts,” he said. “He (Musharraf) was convinced that he lacked the parliament’s support, and he stepped down,” said Gilani. |
