LAHORE: Former president General (r) Pervez Musharraf rejected claims that he ordered the assassination of late Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) leader Benazir Bhutto.
Speaking to BBC, the former president, while referring to the reports of him threatening her on the phone, rejected the claim that he ordered her assassination.
“Honestly, I laugh at it,” he said, “Why would I kill her?”
Musharraf also said that some rogue elements of the establishment could have been involved in her murder. He added that rogue elements could have been in touch with the Taliban as well because the Pakistani society is polarised on religious lines.
He explained that any woman who is inclined towards the west is seen with suspicion by such rogue elements.
“I don’t have any facts available. But my assessment is very accurate I think… A lady who is in known to be inclined towards the West is seen suspiciously by those elements,” he said.
