(AKI/DAWN) - Pakistan's deposed chief justice, Iftikhar Mohammad Chaudhry, has written an open letter to world leaders, rejecting allegations levelled by President Pervez Musharraf during his recent European visit.

Ive no other purpose than to clear my name and to save the country (and perhaps others as well) from the calamity that stares us in the face," he said in the letter handed out to the media by advocate Athar Minallah at the Islamabad Bar Association on Wednesday. "We can still rescue (Pakistan) from all kinds of extremism: praetorian and dogmatic, the letter said.

According to the Pakistani daily, Dawn, copies of the letter were also sent to embassies and high commissions in Islamabad. Iftikar addressed the letter to the president of the European Parliament, the president of France, the prime minister of the United Kingdom, US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and Klaus Schwab of the World Economic Forum.
