The Pakistan Parliamentary Affairs Minister Babar Awan has told the Dawn newspaper that any court warrant against former President General Pervez Musharraf would be executed.

Awan has said: "If a Pakistani court issues any warrant against Musharraf we will not become an obstruction in its way. Rather we will execute it."

Making a commitment to the National Assembly, Awan condemned Musharraf for recent remarks against President Asif Ali Zardari, in which Musharraf called Zardari "a criminal and a fraud."

Musharraf told US journalist Seymour Hersh: "He’ll do anything to save himself. He’s not a patriot and he’s got no love for Pakistan. He’s a third-rater."

Awan said such statements were unworthy of a reply but that the noose around Musharraf was likely to be tightened.
