Benazir doesn't want an anti-Musharraf campaign
2006-06-03
Benazir Bhutto, former prime minister and chairperson of the Pakistan People's Party, has said that she is not in favour of running an agitation campaign against General Pervez Musharraf. In an interview with ARY television on Friday, Bhutto said that agitation along with the Muttahida Mujlis-e-Amal (MMA) on its one-point agenda against the present government would not be a sensible route towards real democracy in Pakistan.

"What Musharraf will do if we start agitation before the elections is that either he will stop the election process or leave the scene, paving the way for another general to rule for another five years with lots of promises of good governance," she said, adding that peaceful and controlled transition would be appropriate for the democratic future of Pakistan. She said that agitation could be opted only if Musharraf closed every door for impartial and transparent elections.
