Former prime minister Nawaz Sharif on Sunday denounced President Pervez Musharraf, accusing him of ‘blindly’ following Washington’s dictates.Sharif, who returned last week from seven years of exile, led separate rallies on Sunday involving thousands of supporters in Lahore and in the nearby town of Phoolnagar. “Today Pakistan is in danger,” he said at a gathering of more than 6,000 supporters who carried his portraits and the green flags of the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz. “One individual is out to destroy the country for the sake of his lust for power.”
Nawaz-Bhutto meeting: Sharif confirmed he would meet former prime minister Benazir Bhutto to discuss boycotting the January vote to discredit Musharraf, who the former premier said was “out to destroy” Pakistan. Bhutto and Sharif are scheduled to meet today (Monday) to discuss the election boycott issue.
