LAHORE: Chief of the Pakistan Muslim League-Q Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain has said that former army chief Gen Pervez Musharraf is not a traitor.
Commenting on Thursday on the trial of the former president on treason charges, Mr Hussain remarked: “An army chief cannot be a traitor.”
Talking to reporters, he added: “The word ‘traitor’ is used for those who join the enemies of the country. It should not be used for former head of the army.”
The PML-Q president said the case against Gen Musharraf should not be linked to his illness. “Nothing will come out of this case because this is a political case.”
Mr Hussain said he had spoken to Musharraf’s doctor who said the former army chief had heart ailment but now he was out of danger.
