Musharraf said in a video message released on Thursday: “The one responsible for all miseries of the Bhutto family as well as the assassination of Benazir and Murtaza Bhutto, is none other but (Asif Ali) Zardari.”
He added that Zardari did nothing to investigate the murder of Murtaza Bhutto as he enjoyed his stay in the presidency for five years.
Musharraf’s statement came days after he was accused of being involved in Benazir Bhutto’s murder.
On 31 August, an Anti-Terrorist Court in Rawalpindi acquitted five alleged operatives of the outlawed Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) for want of evidence over the assassination of Benazir in a gun and suicide attack in Rawalpindi on 27 December, 2007.
