| (Xinhua) -- Pakistan People's Party (PPP) Co-Chairman Asif Ali Zardari has agreed to remove Pervez Musharraf from the Presidency, Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) chief Nawaz Sharif said on Wednesday at a news conference in the eastern city of Lahore. Addressing the news conference, Sharif said that Musharraf should be tried for sedition and should not be given a safe exit. The country's destiny will change in the coming days, said Sharif. Local TV channel DAWN NEWS quoted Sharif as saying that Musharraf accepted dictation by foreign forces and Pakistan's sovereignty was at stake. Speaking of the restoration of the judges sacked on Nov. 3 last year when President Pervez Musharraf declared a state of emergency in the country, Sharif said PML-N had sacrificed 15 ministers for the cause of judiciary. "I have told Zardari PML-N to quit coalition if judges are not restored," Sharif said. |
