Islamabad: Pakistan seems to be entering into a new era. President Pervez Musharraf is on his way out as the ruling coalition draws up a 100 page long chargesheet against him.
In an exclusive interview to CNN-IBN, Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) chief Nawaz Sharif strongly indicated that Pervez Musharraf’s days are numbered as the President of Pakistan. And, at the same time, Sharif also dismissed speculation about him taking over the presidential post.
Following are the excerpts from the interview:
When will Musharraf go?
Nawaz Sharif: He has to decide. I don’t think there is much of an option for him now. You will hear the announcement perhaps in one of these days. If he wants to fight, or he wants to face the charges, it is his choice. I think next three,four,five days are very crucial. So you will see something happening in the next few day.
No safe exit for Musharraf?
Nawaz Sharif: Well, I don’t know what they are negotiating, because on one side we are preparing a chargesheet against him and chargesheet is very clear. No preparation is needed for a charge sheet everybody knows what he has done to the country and the havoc he has played with the country and the institutions of the state. So I don’t know whether they are in negotiation with this man. There should not be a safe exit for people who play havoc with the country, who derail the system, who subvert the constitution, who try to ridicule the judges, throw them out of office and you talking of safe exit for such people.
Who will be the next President?
Nawaz Sharif: I am not personally interested. It should go to a person who actually enjoys the support of the people of Pakistan. I think best would be somebody from Balochistan of course there is a sense of deprivation in the province of Balochistan, perhaps that will be a better choice.
