You got to say this for General Musharraf; sometimes he actually does carry out the steps that he says that he will take. A perfect example is the treatment meted out to Nawaz Sharif when he reached Pakistan. Musharraf and the regime threatened that he will be arrested and deported, and that is exactly what happened. And to make the humiliation complete, the 2 time former Prime Minister of Pakistan was treated as a common criminal in many instances. Refer this article (Sharif humiliated before deportation):
The four-hour stay of former Pakistani premier Nawaz Sharif on home soil was a saga of humiliation during which low-ranking police personnel repeatedly shoved and jeered at him, according to a Pakistani journalist, who travelled with the PML-N leader from London. Sharif, who had arrived very confident was soon depressed and bewildered at the shabby treatment accorded to him and virtually broke down at one point.
Sharif was treated with total contempt at the Islamabad airport when low-ranking police officers were sent to talk to him. A visibly depressed and unaided Nawaz was aggressively pushed inside an old bus parked outside the VIP Rawal Lounge and shifted to the plane and sent into exile. As the bus headed towards the PIA plane, about 100 commandos also started running after the bus laughing and cracking jokes, and returned only when the plane had taken off.
