The interior ministry has given the green signal for the return of former military ruler Pervez Musharraf, who is gravely ill in Dubai, reported 24NewsHD TV channel on Wednesday.
As per the official sources, the interior ministry has also assured to provide security to Pervez Musharraf upon his return to Pakistan.
The sources in the interior ministry have said that the name of former president Pervez Musharraf was not on the Exit Control List (ECL).
“He can return home [to Pakistan]. He will be given foolproof security,” they added.
The family of Pervez However, however, has not contacted the interior ministry so far.
Earlier, former prime minister Nawaz Sharif had said in a tweet that he did not have any personal enmity or grudge against Pervez Musharraf.
In his tweet on Tuesday, the former premier had stated that he did not want anyone else to suffer the trauma he had to endure for his loved ones.
He said that he prayed to Allah Almighty for the health of Pervez Musharraf, adding: “If he wants to return home, the government should facilitate him.”
میری پرویز مشرف سے کوئی ذاتی دشمنی یا عناد نہیں۔ نہیں چاہتا کہ اپنے پیاروں کے بارے میں جو صدمے مجھے سہنا پڑے، وہ کسی اور کو بھی سہنا پڑیں۔ ان کی صحت کے لیے اللّہ تعالی سے دعاگو ہوں۔ وہ واپس آنا چاہیں تو حکومت سہولت فراہم کرے۔

Former interior minister Sheikh Rashid Ahmed said Nawaz Sharif’s offer was too late as the Army leadership had already asked General Musharraf to return to Pakistan.
پرویز مشرف کو فوج اور اس کی قیادت نے پاکستان واپس بلا کر درست اور جرات مندانہ فیصلہ کیا۔نوازشریف کے پاس اس فیصلے کی حمایت کے علاوہ کوئی اور دوسرا راستہ نہیں تھا۔پاکستان کے تمام آرمی چیفوں کے خلاف نوازشریف نے لڑائی لڑی اور سیاسی بحران پیدا کیا اور مطلب پڑنے پر ان کے آگے گھٹنے ٹیکے
