Musharraf can never be a traitor, says ISPR

Rawalpindi: The decision given by special court about General Pervez Musharraf has been received with lot of pain and anguish by rank and file of Pakistan Armed Forces. An ex-Army Chief, Chairman of Joint Chief of Staff Committee and President of Pakistan, who has served the country for over 40 years, fought wars for the defense of the country can surely never be a traitor.

This was stated by press release issued by ISPR on Tuesday following special courts decision to award death penalty to former army chief Musharraf in high treason case.
