Islamabad:
Former Pakistan President General Pervez Musharraf has said he plans to return to Pakistan from a self-imposed exile on January 25 or 27 as he is confident that he will be acquitted in all the cases filed against him in the country.
Musharraf, who has been living outside Pakistan since April 2009, said about 600 persons from across the world would accompany him on his return.
Musharraf, speaking at an event in Dubai on Thursday, said he was hopeful he would be acquitted in the cases registered against him after two to three court hearings.
He said he is ready to face the courts.
A slew of civil and criminal cases have been filed against Musharraf in courts across Pakistan over the past two years after the former military ruler stepped down from his post as president following widespread public pressure.
A court in Balochistan has issued an arrest warrant against Musharraf in connection with a case related to the killing of Baloch nationalist leader Akbar Bugti in a military operation in 2006.
Another anti-terrorism court in Rawalpindi too has issued an arrest warrant against Musharraf for failing to cooperate with investigators probing the 2007 assassination of former premier Benazir Bhutto.
The court had also directed authorities to confiscate all of Musharraf's assets, including a farmhouse on the outskirts of Islamabad.
