KARACHI: Pak Sarzameen Party (PSP) chief Mustafa Kamal on Monday termed the special court’s verdict in the high treason case against former military ruler Pervez Musharraf incorrect.

Speaking to the media here, he said Article 6, which defines abrogating, subverting or holding in abeyance the country’s Constitution as high treason, should be implemented in letter and spirit and around 500 people who sided with the former president in this act should also be held to account.

Without naming the Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan (MQM-P), he said a Karachi-based party is doing politics over the verdict by giving it ethnic colour.

Mustafa Kamal urged all political parties to stop using every issue for their personal gains.
