Inside Story - A new low for Pervez Musharraf

Subscribe to our channel http://bit.ly/AJSubscribe Subscribe to our channel http://bit.ly/AJSubscribe The man who once ruled Pakistan now finds himself a prisoner in his own home. Pervez Musharraf's gamble to make a political comeback, after years of living in exile, has gone spectacularly wrong. Musharraf returned to Pakistan last month to compete in elections to, in his words "save Pakistan". But he has been disqualified from participating, there has been no hero's welcome, and no mass show of support. He has been humbled time and again and has now hit a new low. Police arrested him during the night, took him before a magistrate, who ordered that he be placed in custody for two days. He was taken back to his home in Islamabad and was essentially put under house arrest. So, why would Musharraf return to Pakistan? And is revenge playing a part in the judicial action that has been brought against him? To discuss this, Inside Story with presenter Mike Hanna is joined by guests: Zahid Ebrahim, a lawyer and advocate of the Supreme Court of Pakistan; Makhdoom Babar, president and editor-in-chief of the English publication, The Daily Mail Pakistan; and Talat Masood, a former military general of the Pakistani Army.
