Parvez Musharaf
RAWALPINDI: Law Minister Babar Awan has said that former president Pervez Musharraf will have to prove his innocence before the court in the Benazir assassination case. “Musharraf is to face the court and the court will decide his fate,” he told reporters during a visit to the Rawalpindi Chamber of Commerce and Industry here on Tuesday.
He said the judiciary was independent and it knew how to get its verdict implemented. “The PPP government always respects the judiciary and its decisions. It will also respect the court’s decision in the BB assassination case.”
Answering a question about Intelligence Bureau’s former director general Ijaz Shah, the law minister said an accused could not stand in the ‘witness box’ before confessing his crime and turning a ‘crown witness’.
