ISLAMABAD: The ruling coalition has finally decided to move towards President Musharraf's ouster through an ingenious method apart from impeachment. He will be asked to honour the pledge made before the Supreme Court in October last at the time of his election from the outgoing assemblies -- he had promised to seek vote of confidence from the new assemblies after the general elections.
Since his supporters are heavily outnumbered in all the assemblies, the move in practice would turn into a no confidence, bringing Musharraf under moral and political, if not legal, pressure to step down. |
