Former Military Leader Set To Return To Pakistan

Islamabad

Pakistan's former military leader Pervez Musharraf, who has been hospitalized for the last three weeks due to health-related complications, is set to return home from self-imposed exile, sources reported.
However, the exact date of his arrival in Pakistan was not immediately disclosed.

An air ambulance will bring Musharraf back from a Dubai hospital given the consent of his family and doctors, the report added.
Since 2016, Musharraf has been living in the UAE when he was allowed to travel abroad on bail for medical treatment. At the time, he was being tried in Pakistan on treason charges which got later overturned by a high court ruling.
Last week, media reports started doing rounds about his deteriorating health of Musharraf. On Twitter, Musharaf's family refuted reports that he is on the ventilator and said he is going through a difficult stage of recovery as his organs are malfunctioning.
The aliment Musharaf is called Amyloidosis. It is a rare form of condition caused by a build-up of an abnormal protein called amyloid in organs and tissues throughout the body.
Pakistan Defence Minister Khawaja Asif said the general should face no obstacle for him to return home in view of his ill health.
Musharaf seized power in a bloodless military coup in 1999, ousting the then-elected government of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif.
He later declared himself president and went on to rule Pakistan until after his political allies lost the 2008 general elections, forcing him to step down to avoid impeachment by the new parliament.
