ISLAMABAD, Dec 5 (Online): Senator Raza Rabbani and Senator Zahid Khan have received threatening letters, suggestive of serious consequences for demanding a treason trial against former army chief General (retd) Pervez Musharraf, local media reported Thursday.
Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) leader Aitzaz Ahsan made this revelation and speculated that the letters were written by a Musharraf supporter.
He said copies of these letters will be provided to relevant authorities and that he will ask for thorough investigation into the matter.
In April this year, Rabbani and Khan – along with other senators – had called for Musharraf to be tried under Article 6 of the Constitution for abrogating the Constitution and derailing democracy.
The current Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) government had recently requested the Supreme Court to constitute a “special court†to try Musharraf for high treason for imposing emergency rule in the country in November 2007.
