Born on August 11, 1943, a turbulent time of the Second World War and India's freedom movement had gained momentum, Musharraf migrated to the newly formed Pakistan with his family after the Partition in 1947.
Former Pakistan President Gen. Musharraf, 78, is admitted to a UAE hospital, where he is in critical condition. Musharraf led the country from 1999 to 2008. In a tweet, Musharraf's family confirmed that his recovery is not possible.
Chief Justice Nisar made the remarks when Musharraf's lawyer told the three-judge bench that his client "respects the court" but was unable to return due to his medical condition and reservations over the provision of security, Dawn newspaper reported.
The previous Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) government had filed the treason case against the ex-army chief Musharraf in 2013 over the imposition of extra-constitutional emergency in November 2007.
Musharraf, in a video message, said he had been planning to contest the upcoming general elections but wanted certain assurances, including that of not being arrested.
Sources said that now Musharraf can either seek political asylum or have special documents arranged if he desires to return to Pakistan.
Zardari also revealed that former dictator Gen (retd.) Pervez Musharraf had come up with a plan on Kashmir issue but other generals could not agree to it.
Reiterating his defensive stand for Lashkar-e-Taiba, Musharraf questioned why Pakistan accepted the LeT was a terrorist organisation when India did not accept that Kulbhushan Jadhav was an Indian spy.
