Corps commanders pledge support for 2-office Musharraf
The top army commanders on Friday endorsed the pivotal role of General Pervez Musharraf as the president of Pakistan and chief of the army staff (COAS) in the ongoing reforms process in the country. President General Pervez Musharraf presided over the 101st corps commanders meeting, also attended by all principal staff officers, at the General Headquarters. The participants (of the meeting) reiterated support for the pivotal role of the president and the COAS in the ongoing reform process, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said after the conference. It was learnt that the meeting discussed the current situation in the country with particular reference to the judicial crisis, killings in Karachi and politicisation of the legal matters pending with the Supreme Court and the Supreme Judicial Council. The participants reaffirmed Pakistan Armys support for continuity of the governments policies, both internal and external, the ISPR said. Taking serious note of the malicious campaign against state institutions, the meeting observed that it was aimed at maligning the institutions by vested interests and opportunists who were acting as obstructionist forces to serve their personal interests and agenda even at the cost of flouting rule of the law. According to the ISPR, the corps commanders and the principal staff officers expressed their resolve to stand committed for the security of Pakistan under the leadership and guidance of the president and the COAS.
