General (retd) Musharraf, 75, who has been living in Dubai since 2016, is facing the treason case for suspending the Constitution in 2007.
“If India even thinks of carrying out another surgical strike, Pakistan will give a befitting reply,” Musharraf said.
Former Pak President Pervez Musharraf, who ruled Pakistan from 1999 to 2008, has been declared a fugitive in the Benazir Bhutto murder case and Red Mosque cleric killing case.
The high treason case was lodged against the former president soon after the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) came to power in 2013 for his role in the promulgation of emergency on November 3, 2007.
The former military ruler sent his resignation to the Election Commission as it was no longer possible for him to run the party from abroad, said Amjad.
Musharraf had filed his nomination from the northern district of Chitral after the court last week allowed him to contest the July 25 general election but made it conditional on his appearance before it on June 13 in a case linked to his lifelong disqualification by the Peshawar High Court in 2013.
The apex court had allowed Musharraf, to file nomination papers to contest the July 25 general elections on the condition that he would appear in person before the court on today in Lahore to attend the hearing in the case.
Musharraf's All Pakistan Muslims League (APML) said that he would contest election from the northern district of Chitral in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province.
Pakistan's Interior Ministry has asked for the suspension of former President Pervez Musharraf's computerised national identity card (CNIC) and passport, a media report said on Friday.
Musharraf also claimed that Pakistan and India were on the path of reconciliation when he was in power but added that it was no longer the case.
Bhutto was killed along with 21 people in a gun-and-bomb attack outside Rawalpindi's Liaqat Bagh during an election rally on December 27, 2007.
Hailing LeT and JuD terror groups as "patriotic", former military dictator Pervez Musharraf has said that he was ready to enter into an alliance with them for Pakistan's "safety and security".
"I spoke about Hafiz Saeed and I will say it proudly that LeT and JuD are both very good organisations of Pakistan," Musharraf said.
Zardari was speaking to the media a day after Musharraf accused him of "having the most to gain from Bhutto's murder".
The PPP chief and a two-time prime minister was killed along with more than 20 people in a gun and bomb attack in Rawalpindi's Liaquat Bagh in 2007.
Former Pakistan president Nawaz Sharif has almost admitted that fugitive underworld don Dawood Ibrahim, the 1993 Mumbai serial blasts mastermind, is in Karachi
