“The proposed technocrat interim government should be provided with a considerable time to hold the corrupt politicians accountable,” said Musharraf during an interview with a private news channel on Saturday. “Corrupt politicians have always compelled the army to take over,” he said while trying to justify past martial laws in the country. An interim government should be placed to put the country on the right track, Musharraf said. “The SC will have to find a way [to replace the incumbent government with an interim one],” he remarked. Musharraf suggested that the judiciary should take a start with striking down the legislation that allows a convicted person to head a political party.
