Rs 1 billion bounty on ‘fit to be killed’ Musharraf

The son of Baluch nationalist leader Nawab Akbar Bugti who was killed during Pervez Musharraf’s regime has offered a bounty of Rs 1 billion and 1,000 acres of land to any person who beheads the former military ruler.
The offer was made by Talal Akbar Bugti, son of late Baluch leader Nawab Akbar Bugti and chief of the Jamhoori Watan Party, while addressing a news conference in Quetta on Saturday. Bugti said Musharraf also deserved death for overthrowing an elected government in 1999. ‘I give the status of wajib-ul-qatl (fit to be killed) to Musharraf. He ended a democratic government elected with a large mandate in 1999 and he deserves the death sentence according to Article 6 (of the Constitution). Therefore, he is wajib-ul-qatl,’ said Bugti. ‘(Musharraf) is also wajib-ul-qatl for killing innocent people in Baluchistan,’ he said.
Besides this, Bugti said Musharraf was fit to be killed as he had committed many ‘unforgivable’ crimes, including the killing of innocent people during the 2007 Lal Masjid operation. He announced that he would give land and money to any person who killed Musharraf, now living in Britain. Bugti condemned Musharraf’s allegation that his father was a traitor and claimed the former president had strengthened the case against himself by acknowledging his links in the killing of Nawab Akbar Bugti.
Addressing the news conference along with PML-N leader Sardar Yaqoob Nasir, Bugti said Musharraf’s comments to the media in the past few weeks have caused irreparable damage to Pakistan’s sovereignty.
