ANI Islamabad, October 18
      Pakistan Prime Minister Mir Zafarullah Khan Jamali has said it is he who is in charge of Pakistan and not President Pervez Musharraf. "I am running the country as per the Constitution, not the president," Jamali said in an interview that was published in the Khaleej Times. Jamali said he, Musharraf, the National Assembly and the Senate were acting in unison. Denying that Pakistan’s opposition parties were being victimised, he said: "There is no harassment as there was in the past."  About the possibility of the government entering into a deal with Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal (MMA) over the Legal Framework Order (LFO), he said: "Politics is a dialogue. Either they convince me, or I convince them."
| "Or we'll try to have each other killed..." |
He said he had stated in Parliament that former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto was corrupt. On Kashmir, he insisted that all Pakistani citizens, including armed forces personnel, wanted an amicable settlement of the dispute with India.
And there you have it. |
