Ex-Pak ruler Pervez Musharraf to launch new outfit

Islamabad : Former Pakistan president Pervez Musharraf will launch a new political party in London on October one as he prepares to re-enter the political arena of the country ahead of 2013 general elections.

Reports, quoting Musharraf?s spokesman Mohammad Saif, said on Tuesday that the former military ruler will address a press conference at the UK capital on October one, where he will launch the party?s manifesto and explain before world press the functioning of the current Pakistani government.

It will be followed by a rally at Birmingham on October three which has a large population of people of Pakistani origin.

The rally is being described by Musharraf’s aides as a demonstration of the support enjoyed by his new party, the All Pakistan Muslim League, among Pakistanis abroad.

Musharraf?s supporters from other parts of the world are also expected to attend the rally.

Another meeting is being planned at Manchester on October nine.
