ISLAMABAD (AP) ? Pakistan's premier says the military ruler who ousted him in a coup over a decade ago should be tried for treason.
Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif spoke in parliament Monday as the Supreme Court held a hearing on a possible treason case against Pervez Musharraf.
The former military ruler can only be tried for treason if the federal government presses charges against him.
Sharif accused Musharraf of committing treason by suspending the constitution while in power and said he should be brought to justice in court.
But the government stopped short of actually pressing charges against Musharraf and said it will consult with other political parties on the matter.
Musharraf, who maintains his innocence, could face the death penalty or life in prison if he is convicted of treason.
