We respect him as COAS and President of Pakistan; including His work, Contribution, his Economical Reforms and Foreign Policy. His office under GHQ Rawalpindi should tackle this case as office disrespect. I think particular Court and judge has some personal hatred.

Man what a mess this is....

Same courts validated his rule when he was in power

You can get a life sentence for handling explosive material or you could get sentenced to high treason, with the rest of these clowns.

Our real hero, We salute his convictions, and solidarity. I love him, because I love Pakistan. GeneralPervaizMusharraf
