Former president of Pakistan Pervez Musharraf — AP file photo

KARACHI: The leader of Jamhoori Watan Party (JWP) Nawabzada Shahzain Bugti said that a hanging rope for former president General (r) Pervez Musharraf is ready.

Bugti however said that if he was not arrested upon his arrival, it means that a deal has been made between the government and Musharraf.

He said that the situation in Balochistan will worsen more, and that the government will be responsible for this.

He was talking to media persons after meeting with newly appointed Pir Pagara, Pir Syed Sibghatullah Shah Rashdi at Pir Jo Goth. He said that we are still offering Rs 1bn and a plot of Rs 10 Crores in Quetta as head money for Musharraf.

Shahzain added that the former president killed innocents during the Lal Masjid incident and desecrated the Holy Quran which accounts for the death penalty.

In a loud voice, Shahzain said that we will never remain silent if Musharraf was not arrested on his way to Pakistan.
