PML-N government will try Musharraf for treason: Report**

LAHORE: The incoming Pakistan Muslim League – Nawaz (PML-N) government will hold the trial of former president Pervez Musharraf over charges of treason, reported Press Trust of India on Tuesday.

The report quoted PML-N parliamentarian **Tariq Azeem **as saying that the party has decided to try Musharraf for treason in the Supreme Court.

**“General Musharraf had violated the Constitution and he should face the music,” he was quoted as saying.

Azeem added that prime minister-elect Nawaz Sharif has made it clear that he has no personal issue with Musharraf but “he should be tried for breaking the law and violating the Constitution”.

The caretaker government had refused to hold Musharraf’s trial, saying that it wanted to focus on conducting free and fair elections.

Senior political analyst Raza Rumi had said that the greatest dilemma PML-N faces for its incoming government is whether to prosecute Musharraf.

“If PML-N goes ahead with Musharraf’s trial it runs the risk of enraging Pakistan’s powerful military establishment. If not, then it loses the moral high ground it has maintained for a decade,” he told The Express Tribune.

It’s going to be an acid test for the credibility of the Noon League which had been openly asking for Musharraf’s trial under Article 6 of the constitution until Saudis entered the scene and asked Sharif to shup up. While media, PTI, lawyers and the civil society will pressurize Sharif for moving against the retired general, the newly-installed PM will have to accommodate wishes of the US and Riyadh before anything else.

^^^ Sure bring it on. Its funny Tariq Azeem was part of Mush govt. then. I would like to see how Mush is indicted and proven guilty using article 6
