ISLAMABAD - A close aide of President Pervez Musharraf met Pakistan People's Party (PPP) Co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari and asked him to allow Ôsafe passageÕ to the president, a TV channel reported here on Tuesday. The Pakistan-based channel quoting its sources said that while Zardari is willing to allow 'safe passageÕ to Musahrraf, former prime minister and PML-N chief Nawaz Sharif insists that ÒMusharraf must pay for all the crimes he committed during the past nine yearsÓ.Speaking to a group of members of the provincial cabinet and the party MPAs from Sindh, Zardari said all four provincial assemblies will adopt separate resolutions asking Musharraf to step down, or seek a vote of confidence failing which he would have to face impeachment motion.
Zardari has said that the decision to impeach President Musharraf had been taken with consensus among the four partners in the coalition.
