Islamabad, Apr. 1 : The Pakistan Supreme Court has thrown away a sedition petition filed against former President General Pervez Musharraf.

It also stated that all the persons who assisted General Musharraf to carry out his illegal activities should also be punished according to the law of the country. (ANI)
