Pakistan is not a banana republic: Musharraf
 President General Pervez Musharraf on Sunday termed rumours of a coup in Pakistan as nonsense. Pakistan is not a banana republic. Everything is normal. There is no coup, he said while talking to reporters on Monday. Commenting on the rumours about his health, Musharraf said that doctors had declared him fit, adding that he had gone for a medical examination according to his programme. I have not undergone any ETT check since 1994. I am normal, absolutely normal, he said, adding that his visit to the hospital was private, but he was mistaken that it would remain a personal affair. Musharraf said that he was successful in maintaining secrecy about the book. When asked that some extracts of his book had been published in the international media before the launch, Musharraf said that it was expected since the book had reached bookstalls. He said that 80 percent of power supply had been restored in Pakistan and it will be 100 percent soon. He denied having information about Osama Bin Laden saying, I do not comment on things I dont know about. He said that the proposed joint mechanism to fight terrorism was a test for both India and PakistanPosted by: john 2006-09-25 |
