Former Pakistan president and Army Chief – Pervez Musharraf, who delayed his political comeback due to his deteriorating health is now planning a comeback, a party official said on Thursday.
Musharraf, who ruled Pakistan for nearly nine years from 1999 to 2008 after a military coup, is facing a treason trial under Article 6 of the Constitution.
The 78-year-old former military dictator is suffering from amyloidosis, a rare disease caused by a build-up of an abnormal protein called amyloid in organs and tissues throughout the body, according to his family.
