Sir: The inevitable finally happened. A special court has indicted Pakistan’s former president and COAS General (retd) Pervez Musharraf on five counts, including treason. Musharraf’s request for permission to leave for Dubai to look after his ailing mother has also been rejected. If Musharraf somehow leaves the country the government may just heave a sigh of relief after it looked to be choking under the gauntlet it had thrown at him. So the disappearance of Musharraf would not only relieve the government of a headache but also take out a big source of distraction from other pressing issues. Sanam Tajjamul Karachi
