Pakistan President younger than he thinks NEW DELHI, April 16 (AFP) - The Pakistani president will receive birth certificates for himself, an elder brother and his sister when he visits his birthplace in India this weekend, but a leading newspaper said Saturday that Pervez Musharraf is two years younger than he thinks. New Delhi Municipal Corporation dug out the originals after Musharraf's mother, Begum Zarin, visited the Indian capital's Lala Girdharilal Maternity Hospital last month and asked to see the birth certificates of her sons Javed and Pervez, officials said. They were thought to have been born there in July 1941 and August 1942 respectively. The search turned up three birth certificates for a girl born July 19, 1941, a boy August 11, 1942 and another boy on July 22, 1945, the daily said. The girl is believed to be Musharraf's eldest sister and the first boy brother Javed. "So his real date of birth may be 1945 while the official records say it is August 11, 1943 a difference of two years," a council official told the newspaper. |
