Pakistan's ruling coalition has formally announced that it has decided to impeach President Pervez Musharraf.
Speaking at a news conference, Asif Ali Zardari, the husband of slain former premier Benazir Bhutto, said Pakistan's ruling coalition had agreed to table a motion in parliament on Monday to impeach the president. The consensus came after three days of talks between Pakistan People's Party Leader Zardari and former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif of the Pakistan Muslim Leaque-Nawaz. Pakistani media have also reported that the coalition is planning to reinstall more than 60 judges who were sacked by Musharraf after he declared a state of emergency last year. Meanwhile, Musharraf has cancelled plans to travel to Beijing for the opening ceremonies of the Olympic Games. The foreign ministry says Prime Minister Yousuf Impeachment threat for Musharraf ...
