Minister for Science and Technology Fawad Chaudhry had said former president General (retd) Pervez Musharraf was the nation’s benefactor. “Pervez Musharraf has rid us of PML-N chief Nawaz Sharif in 1999 that’s why he’s our benefactor,” stated the federal minister, addressing a ceremony in Jhelum. Responding to a query concerning the PML-N chief’s return to Pakistan, the minister was of the view, “Even Nawaz Sharif’s household has no hope of his homecoming.”
