A plane, carrying Musharraf, leaders of his party and media persons from Dubai, landed at the port city of Karachi at 12: 45 p. m. local time where his supporters accorded him warm welcome.
On Saturday, Tehrik-e Taliban Pakistan (TTP) said in a video that the militant group had prepared a “death squad” to kill Musharraf. but he downplayed the threats and said he has been facing the dangers since 2001.
TTP are also the Killers of Thousands of Shia Men , And as a rule the enemy of our enemy is our friend.
As he was the Only person who Openly condemned Jihadi Groups Like , TTP, SSP and other allied groups and waged a War Against them , which includes his Positive action by conducting a Operation Clean up on The Red Mosque in Islamabad , which was a den of Terrorist , and were about to take the control of Pakistan’s Capital Islamabad , But he crushed them force fully, and he still doesn’t regret his decision , as this action of his was highly criticized & Politicized by the Pakistani Bias Main Stream Media & the Politician who support the Taliban , which tows the US Policies , instead of Protecting the Pakistani Interest .
The authorities in Karachi canceled permission of Musharraf’s rally at the mausoleum of the founder of the nation over security concerns and his party’s leaders agreed that he will speak to his supporters at the Karachi airport.
He had been living in exile in Britain and the United Arab Emirate since he resigned from his post in August 2008.
Musharraf, 69, had previously announced on several occasions that he would return home, but he had postponed the plan.
A court in Pakistan on Friday granted protective bail to Musharraf, who had been facing arrest in several cases.
The 14-day-long protective bail was granted in response to a constitutional petition submitted to the court by Musharraf’s daughter Ayla Raza Musharraf on behalf of her father.
An anti-terrorism court had issued arrest warrant in 2011 for Musharraf in connection with the murder of former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto. Last October a court also issued a warrant for his arrest over the killing of Baloch nationalist leader Akbar Bugti in a military operation in August 2006.
Musharraf, who ruled Pakistan from 1999 to 2008, has also been charged with ordering a military raid on the Taliban-linked Red Mosque in Islamabad during his term.
He dismissed all charges as politically-motivated and said in Dubai on Saturday that he would defend himself in courts on return.
Pakistani Taliban on Saturday issued a video, warning against his return,
He also planned to run election campaign for his All Pakistan Muslim League party and to contest for a National Assembly seat in the May 11 elections.

Meanwhile protesters gathered in Quetta under the Unity council continued their sit-in at Alamdar road for the Last 48 Hours , second successive night, vowing to remain there till the situation improves.

As this wave of protests hit the headlines by Saturday afternoon, the apathetic political leadership began to wake up. Till then they continued to be preoccupied with shenanigans such as the march of Maulana Tahirul Qadri; this is lent credence by the fact that the only PPP leader who visited Quetta on Saturday to talk to protesters was Khursheed Shah.
His efforts at placating the protesters proved ineffective. The only other politician who appeared at the scene was Balochistan Governor Zulfiqar Magsi, who did little beyond expressing his lack of powers and firing a few verbal rounds at the provincial government and Mr Shah.
The prime minister woke up late in the evening – metaphorically – to call the governor; grant police powers to the Frontier Corps (FC) in Balochistan, and order an ever missing Chief Minister Aslam Raisani to immediately return to the country from Dubai. According to his spokesman, the provincial head was getting his throat treated. Who was later confirmed by the sources that instead of coming to Pakistan , he has flown to London to enjoy his life and leisure.
The Latest reports say that the PM has reached Quetta to talk to the representative of the Shia Leadership to resolve the crisis, but as per our Reports the Shia Leadership have rejected any Negotiation until the fulfillment of their demand of Military take Over of Quetta City , and the removal of Balochistan Chief Minister
Political parties support protesters
Political parties also came out to express support for Quetta’s under attack community.
