Musharraf’s Body Is Expected To Be Returned To Pakistan Today

February 6, 2023 / By Zunair Tahir / Pakistan News

Pervez Musharraf, a former military leader, died in Dubai a day ago, and his remains will be returned to Pakistan today (Monday).

Mumtaz Zahra Baloch, a spokesman for the Foreign Office (FO), claimed that Musharraf’s remains were being transported thanks to Pakistani embassies in the United Arab Emirates.

His family has been in contact with our missionaries in the UAE.

Musharraf passed away in Dubai at the age of 79 after a lengthy fight with the uncommon disease amyloidosis. Musharraf, who stole power following a coup in October 1999 and ruled Pakistan until 2008, had usurped power after a coup.

On Sunday morning, the word of his passing first spread on social media before reaching the mainstream media as a result of confirmation from the former army chief’s family and the Pakistani embassy in Dubai. The former dictator’s condition was reportedly in serious condition for the previous few months as his organs began to fail as a result of the terminal sickness.

Musharraf’s remains will be returned to Pakistan today on a special flight where he will be buried in Karachi. A no-objection certificate has also been given by the Pakistani consulate general in Dubai to assist his family’s return home (NOC).

Consul General Hassan Afzal Khan was reported in a media source as stating, “We are in contact with the family and the consulate would aid in any manner it can; the consulate has given the no-objection certificate.”

In 2018, the All Pakistan Muslim League (APML) revealed that Musharraf had amyloidosis, a set of uncommon but dangerous diseases brought on by the accumulation of an aberrant protein called amyloid in organs and tissues all over the body.

The former military dictator was hospitalized for three weeks in June of last year, which led to rumor’s that he had passed away. His family had to make a statement to deny these claims, nevertheless.

“I’m going through a tough time when healing isn’t feasible and my organs aren’t working properly. During that time, his family issued a message via Musharraf’s official Twitter account, asking for prayers for ease in his everyday life.

A court accused the former dictator for suspending the Constitution on November 3, 2007, and two years later, he fled Pakistan for medical treatment. He was given the death penalty on December 17, 2019, by a special court convened to handle the ex-high dictator’s treason case. A Lahore High Court bench, however, halted the special court’s ruling.
