"Musharraf not quitting"
President Pervez Musharraf was not thinking of stepping down from office, a presidential spokesman reiterated on Sunday. The President is not thinking of quitting. This was not the presidential election. In these elections, people have selected candidates to represent them in the legislative assemblies. There is no reason for the president to quit, retired Major General Rashid Qureishi, the spokesman for President Musharraf, told The Hindu on Sunday.He was reacting to a report in the British Sunday Telegraph quoting a presidential aide that the retired General Musharraf would quit within days, not months. General Musharrafs political future has looked unsure since the Pakistan Peoples Party, which emerged as the single largest party in the elections, and the Pakistan Muslim League (Nawaz) declared that they would work together for government formation. Supported by other parties, they could move to impeach General Musharraf, although the PPP leadership has indicated it does not want to rock the boat. Posted by: Fred 2008-02-25 |
