Musharraf under fire for expulsion of Sharif

President Gen. Pervez Musharraf came under fire today for the ejection of former prime minister Nawaz Sharif, with newspapers dismissing the Pakistan government’s claim that he returned willingly to exile.

Sharif flew in to Islamabad from London on Monday to challenge the already troubled re-election plans of Musharraf, who toppled his government in a 1999 bloodless coup.
