President will not step down, says Shujaat
|
President Pervez Musharraf will neither use Article 58(2b) nor will he step down, Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid (PML-Q) President Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain said on Tuesday.
He said that the ruling coalition was trying to pressurise Musharraf to tender resignation. "Reports about the president's impeachment are still reports. He is being pressurised to resign but he will not do so and will defend himself against the charges to be levelled against him," Shujaat said this while talking to reporters in Parliament House.
"Warm up the plane! Mauritania here we come!"

He said it was a constitutional right of the government to impeach the president and Musharraf had every right to defend himself.
Shujaat said the "allegations levelled by the coalition have not come out in open and any decision in this respect would be taken when the charge sheet is made public". He said, "We don't want to indulge in any number game. On the other hand horse trading from the government's side is reaching its peak."
