Holding former President General Pervez Musharraf responsible for former Prime Minister Benazir Bhuttos assassination,Pakistans High Commissioner to Britain Wajid Shamsul Hassan has said that Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) chief Baitullah Mehsud could not have proceeded with plans of assassinating Bhutto without Musharrafs nod.

A private television channel reported Hassan,as saying that if Benazir would have been alive,trouble for Musharraf would have doubled.

Had Benazir been alive,Musharraf would have been facing legal action for murdering former Balochistan governor Nawab Akbar Bugti,and removing the chief justice of Pakistan, The Daily Times quoted Hassan,as saying.

Hassan said Musharraf had offered a much bigger amnesty under the National Reconciliation Ordinance to the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) chief Nawaz Sharif,which allowed him to leave the country easily following the military coup in 1998.
