Pervez Musharraf passed away in Dubai’s Hospital on Sunday.

Former president Pervez Musharraf had been undergoing treatment for an ailment at an American Hospital Dubai.

The 79-year-old former president and chief of army staff had been suffering from amyloidosis, a rare disease caused by a build-up of an abnormal protein called amyloid in organs and tissues throughout the body.

The former military ruler left the country in March 2016 for Dubai to seek medical treatment and didn’t return to Pakistan since.

He  was born on August 11, 1943, in Delhi and completed his early education at St Patrick’s High School in Karachi and passed away at the age of 79.

On other hand, Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said that the Chairman Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee (CJCSC) General Sahir Shamshad, and tri-services chiefs expressed heartfelt condolences on the former army chief’s demise.
