LAHORE: Referring to Musharraf as a spent cartridge, Pakistan Muslim League-N (PML-N) leader Ahsan Iqbal said that former military ruler Pervez Musharraf is making irresponsible statements to attract media and public attention.
In an exclusive chat with SAMAA today, he said the former president will be put on trial on his return to the country as his November 3 actions were not ratified by the parliament or judiciary.
Iqbal’s comments came hours after Musharraf’s interview where he termed PML-N chief Mian Nawaz Sharif a pro-Taliban leader.
Musharraf claimed he cannot be tried for sedition charges because all of his actions were validated both by the judiciary and parliament. SAMAA

LAHORE, Pakistan News : The entire nation should be united against the carelessness posed by the private hospitals and doctors, said the former captain of the Pakistani Cricket Team Wasim Akram in the standing committee meeting of health at the Parliament House Thursday.
Akram called the hospitals ’slaughter houses’ and said that one of them asked for $150,000 to send his wife to Singapore for her treatment.
He said he had to go through a very tough time when her wife needed treatment. She couldn’t be given proper treatment here, and hence, had to be flown in abroad for treatment.
Also, if a well-known personality like him could be harrassed so much, the ordinary masses would be worse off in their hands, he said.
Akram’s wife died on Oct 27, after succumbing to kidney and heart complications and was admitted to the Apollo Hospital, Chennai where she passed away.
