ABU DHABI: Increasing differences between the judiciary and the government may result in further crises for the country, said former president Pervez Musharraf.

Combination of file pictures shows sacked chief justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry (L) addressing a lawyers meeting at the High Court in Rawalpindi, 28 March 2007, and Pakistani President General Pervez Musharraf during a press conference 21 August 2002 in Islamabad. Pakistani forces deployed around key state buildings and rounded up leading critics 04 November 2007 as President Pervez Musharraf sought to shore up his flagging grip on power by imposing emergency rule. In coordinated moves, military ruler Musharraf suspended the constitution, sacked chief justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry, imposed strict media curbs and arrested some of his biggest opposition critics.

During meetings with former foreign minister Khurshid Kasuri, chairman Pakistan Muslim League like-minded group Hamid Nasir Chattha, former minister Sher Afgan Niazi and other political leaders Musharraf said the conflict between the government and the judiciary may result into a crisis.

Some of his political friends advised him to visit Pakistan and face the circumstances. They said that country lacks political leadership and people need a new leadership, therefore, Musharraf should have constitute a new political platform.

Sources said Musharraf wants to work for the country and after discussion with his friends, he would announce his political strategy. Sources also said during this meeting, matters related to formation of a new political party “Pasban” were also discussed. However, Hamid Nasir Chattha and Khurshid Kasuri said that former president should use the platform of PML-LM. No final decision came out of the meeting and it was decided to continue discussions in this connection.

Sources also said Musharraf would go to Saudi Arabia and meet with his close friends of the royal family. After that, he would return to London while his return to the country was not likely in near future.
