Special gift for Musharraf

The birth registration record of Musharraf, who was born in Delhi, has been found by the civic body and the birth certificate has been prepared, the Corporation's spokesman Madan Thapliyal said.

"We have found an entry for a male child born on August 11, 1942, identified as a "son of Mr Musharraf" and delivered at Lala Giridharilal Maternity Hospial," he said adding "we are preparing a birth certificate for this entry and hand it over to the government".

Musharraf's mother Begum Zarin had visited the hospital in Old Delhi's Kamala Market locality last month and expressed the desire to get the birth certificate of her two sons Javed and Pervez born in that hospital born in July 1941 and August 1942 respectively.

"Begum Zarin became very emotional during her visit to the hospital and she could even remember the name of the medical superintendent of the hospital at that time and some of the staff members," said Indira Yadav, the current medical superintendent of the 75-year-old hospital.
