KARACHI: Former president and army chief Pervez Musharraf has submitted a request to Interior Ministry to allow him visit to Saudi Arabia.The request has been submitted by his lawyer Faisal Chaudhry to the Ministry.
Musharraf in its application has wished that he wanted to visit Saudi Arabia to offer condolences to the Saudi royal family over death of King Abdullah.
The government has not responded on the application as Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif is on visit to Saudi Arabia to attend funeral prayer of King Abdullah.
His name was put on exit control list (ECL) by the government due to cases pending against him in country’s courts especially high treason trial.
Musharraf has been staying with his daughter in Karachi where he traveled for tests at a navy-run hospital in April last year. He has been banned from leaving the country as the government has put his name in the exit control list.
