PakistanÂ’s armed forces still consider President Pervez Musharraf their supreme commander, as well as the legal and constitutional president of the country, Geo news quoted sources within the Pakistan Army as saying.
The channelÂ’s senior anchor and analyst Kamran Khan quoted these sources as saying that the recent rumours of MusharrafÂ’s resignation were completely baseless. He reported that the United States administration, including its envoy Anne W Patterson, had been very active during the last 24 hours with regards to the political situation in Pakistan. He said the US wanted the present government to respect the agreements reached between President Musharraf and the PPP before the general elections. He revealed that the Saudi government had also forwarded messages to the political leadership in the last 24 hours. |
