New Delhi: The Pakistan Senate on Monday unanimously passed a resolution demanding the arrest of the former President Pervez Musharraf on his return to the country.
The Senate is also demanding that a case to be registered against Musharraf under article 6 of the Pakistani constitution.
This even as reports emerged that Musharraf met ISI chief Lt General Shuja Pasha in Dubai. Pasha is reported to have advised Musharraf not to return to Pakistan.
The report said it was not clear whether the meeting was held on the directions of the Pakistan People's Party-led government or if it was a private meeting.
The report said Musharraf, after meeting Pasha, convened a meeting of his All Pakistan Muslim League party on January 25 for reviewing his decision to return to Pakistan.
The media report coincided with a resolution passed by the Senate or upper house of parliament that demanded the arrest of Musharraf on his return to Pakistan and the registration of a case of high treason against him for abrogating the Constitution.
Several Pakistani leaders, including Interior Minister Rehman Malik, have said Musharraf would be arrested on his return to Pakistan.
Musharraf recently postponed his plans to return to Karachi during January 27-30. The dictator has been living outside Pakistan since early 2009.
