Federal Minister for Law and Parliamentary Affairs Dr Babar Awan said on Tuesday that former President General Pervez Musharraf (Retd) should face the courts in Benazir Bhutto assassination case as the judiciary is independent in its decision making and dispensation of justice on priority.
Talking to reporters after addressing traders' representatives at Rawalpindi Chamber of Commerce and Industry (RCCI) here, he said that Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) has always respected the judiciary and PPP also faced and accepted the verdicts of the courts with open heart and mind. "Pervez Musharraf should face the courts in Benazir Bhutto murder case," he said, adding, PPP will play its role to wrap up the murder case.
Commenting on Raymond Davis who killed innocent Pakistanis, he said his case was also in the court and the PPP will accept the verdict of the court. Babar Awan said that the PPP government believed in the reconciliation policy and all the stakeholders will be taken into confidence before formulating policies. The minister expressed the confidence that the present government would complete its tenure.
He said that real democracy keeps on shinning while dictatorship left the country into darkness adding the democracy dispels the wrong impression. The credit for the democracy in the country goes to Shaheed Benazir Bhutto, he said and added, "This is a great success and now, we are moving towards the right path as Pakistan is stable and foreign reserves are touching the new height."
