"I am going home as announced. I am not scared of anything be it the death threat from terrorists or the arrest on arrival," Musharraf said in Dubai after addressing his party supporters at a reception yesterday.
Before leaving his luxury flat for the airport in Downtown Dubai, Musharraf kissed his 94-year-old mother goodbye.
"I am happy I am going back," Gulf News quoted Musharraf as saying.
Musharraf after arriving at Quaid-e-Azam International airport in Karachi would address a press conference since the authorities have cancelled the NOC for planned holding of All Pakistan Muslim League (APML) rally near the mausoleum of the Quaid-e-Azam for security reasons.
