29 Dec 2013 4:41 AM IST
The government would ‘provide all available medical facilities for the treatment’ of Musharraf’s 95-year-old mother, said a statement from the Prime Minister’s Office.
The government is ready to send a special plane or air ambulance to bring Musharraf’s mother to ‘Pakistan on humanitarian grounds so that she can get treatment in Pakistan and live with her son’, the statement said.
Musharraf, who has a plethora of cases against him, is currently barred from travelling out of the country as he has been included in the Interior Ministry’s Exit Control List (ECL).
His petition to remove his name from the ECL, so that he could travel to Dubai to visit his mother, has already been rejected by the Sindh High Court. Information Minister Pervaiz Rashid said the independent judiciary will decide Musharraf’s fate.
The former army chief is set to appear in a special court on January 1 to face charges of high treason for imposing emergency in 2007.
