ISLAMABAD – Former president Pervez Musharraf said on Tuesday that the National Reconciliation Ordinance (NRO) was enacted to make the election process transparent and to end political victimisation in the country.
According to Geo News, former president and leader of All Pakistan Muslim League (APML), Pervez Musharraf has submitted his response in Supreme Court which states that the NRO was initiated to eliminate political revenge, adding that the reference was not intended for dishonesty and fraud.

He said the NRO was operated as per the state of affairs at the time and the decisions taken were in accordance with the regulations.
Earlier in April 2018, petitioner Feroz Shah Gilani had requested the court to order recovery of ‘huge amounts of public money’ misappropriated and wasted by them through unlawful means, which are already on record in different judgments of the Supreme Court and high court.

The petitioner had contended that Musharraf destabilized the Constitution by declaring emergency followed by the promulgation of the NRO, through which criminal and corruption cases against politicians, including Zardari, were ‘arbitrarily withdrawn’ causing huge financial losses to the national exchequer.
