| President General Pervez Musharraf categorically said on Friday that the government was “not contemplating” a deal or seat adjustments with any political party. “The government is also not considering to allow any politician currently living abroad to enter the country,” Musharraf told the Pakistan Muslim League (PML) and its allies at a dinner hosted by Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz. The president said the PML and its allies would contest the upcoming general elections as coalition partners. He said the government was committed to fulfilling its pledge of holding free, fair and impartial elections in the country, and all political parties would be free to contest them. |
