Sharif was a liar, deserved to go: Pervez Musharraf

July 30, 2017 08:54

Ousted Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif deserved what he got, former president and army chief General Pervez Musharraf said.

Musharraf called the Pakistan Supreme Court judgment that deposed of Sharif "tremendous" and good for the people of Pakistan.

Musharraf denied charges that the Supreme Court disqualifying Sharif from office amounted to a 'judicial coup', saying that the judgment was "well thought-out" and applauding the justices for showing "caliber".

The Pakistan Supreme Court verdict came in a case related to the Panama Papers expose that threw up documents purportedly showing Sharif's family owning properties in excess of their incomes.
