ISLAMABAD: The former president, General (retd) Pervez Musharraf, has said Nawaz Sharif is digging his own grave as he forced him to impose the martial law in the country, the Geo News reported.

Musharraf said the former premier talked of giving respect to vote, but did not respect it himself. He said that he is waiting for a favourable time to return to Pakistan and he hoped for justice from the country's judiciary. He said he did not commit any kind of corruption, neither did any court sentence him, but still he was barred from contesting an election for life.

Speaking to the media after his telephonic address to party workers here on Monday, the former president said he would return home as soon as a government came that provided him a balanced atmosphere.

The head of All Pakistan Muslim League said he submitted an application for renewal of his passport three months ago, but it has not been renewed on the directives by someone in the Ministry of Interior. "I have been subjected to political victimisation," he claimed.

Addressing the workers earlier, the former president said he would come to a city, from where he would get more support. He also said the local [party] leadership would decide on any political alliances in the forthcoming elections.
