| The sooner President Pervez Musharraf accepts the verdict of the people and steps down, the better it will be for him, Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) chief Nawaz Sharif said on Monday. He told reporters after a meeting with US Ambassador Anne Patterson that he had told her that the incumbent parliament would decide on PakistanÂ’s continued role in the US-led war on terror. He said the US diplomat had been informed that the restoration of the sacked judiciary was the foremost demand of the February 18 election winners. Nawaz Sharif also met JI chief Qazi Hussain Ahmed. Both leaders called on Musharraf to step down or face impeachment. Nawaz said the PPP, the PML-N and the ANP would meet tomorrow (Wednesday) to discuss a strategy against Musharraf. Separately, a US Embassy press statement said Patterson had told Nawaz that the US would work with any coalition government. |
