Quetta: Former Prime nister Shaukat Aziz tried to absolve himself of
the responsibility of Akbar Bugti‘s murder, saying that General (retd)
Pervez Musharraf was responsible for his killing in a military action.
In
a letter sent to Crime Branch of Balochistan Police, which is
investigating the murder of Nawab Bugti on the instructions of
Balochistan High Court (BHC), the former prime minister said that he had
nothing to do with the murder of Bugti as General Musharaf had ordered
the action against the aged Baloch Sardar and he was powerless in face
of the former military ruler.
Shaukat Aziz was the handpicked
prime minister of General Musharraf and now he had turned his back
toward the military dictator by holding him responsible for Bugti‘s
murder.
The BHC had order registration of FIRs against then
president General Musharraf, then prime minister Shaukat Aziz and others
in Bugti murder case. A local court had also issued warrant for arrest
of the former military ruler and Shaukat Aziz in the case. Online
