In compliance with the directive of a special court hearing a treason case against him, the Pakistan government has asked the National Database and Registration Authority (Nadra) and the Directorate General of Immigration & Passports to suspend the computerised national identity card and passport of former military ruler retired Gen Pervez Musharraf, reports Dawn.com.
This will restrict former Pakistan president’s international travel, as his bank accounts will be frozen. A Nadra official told the daily that they had received verbal directives in this regard and were only informed about the letter being sent by the ministry.
According to the report, the court had on March 8 directed the interior ministry to suspend his passport and CNIC. However, implementation of the order was delayed since there was a certain time limit granted to the former president to comply with the court’s earlier directives.
