PML-N frames chargesheet to impeach Musharraf

The chargesheet alleges that Musharraf imposed martial law twice, subverted the constitution and violated the oath taken by him as army chief.

The retired general kept former premier Sharif behind bars, detained judges of the Supreme Court along with their families and imposed dictatorship at gunpoint, it states.

The paper also states that Musharraf planned and undertook the "Kargil misadventure", concealing it from the elected government of the time and sacrificing 800 officers and men of the Pakistan Army in the process. It alleges that Musharraf used the army as his "personal force", tried to corrupt it and promoted his blue-eyed officers.

He used the army for unconstitutional and illegal actions meant to prolong his rule, affecting the credibility of the force, it states.

Musharraf also pushed the army into an "undeclared war against its own people without seeking approval from the prime minister, Cabinet and parliament", which resulted in the killing of over 1,000 army personnel, it says.

Suicide bombings in reaction to this move claimed the lives of a large number of Pakistanis, the chargesheet states. It also accuses Musharraf of blackmailing and subjecting people to torture and abuse and using the National Accountability Bureau to form a political party. It further alleges that Musharraf got Baloch nationalist leader, Nawab Akbar Bugti, "killed in cold blood".
