Musharraf to strike when the iron is hot

ISLAMABAD - Former President General (Retd) Pervez Musharraf would enter full-time politics through what his political associates termed as ‘a proper channel’ meaning thereby completing his two years’ post retirement constitutional obligation as a government servant.

Since his retirement as Chief of Army Staff on November 28, Pervez Musharraf was ought to wait for another 13 months even if he wishes to immediately enter the political arena, one of his top political associates told TheNation on condition of anonymity.

“According to my information he is in no hurry to step into politics that too at the apex level. He was too happy and relaxed by spending the interim period with his family, friends and some foreign trips,” the source said.
