Pervez Musharraf Faces Impeachment
CHAN:
And Pakistani president Pervez Musharraf is facing impeachment proceedings. The move is likely to deepen political uncertainty in the already troubled Muslim nation.
STORY:
It's been said his days are numbered. And now time is running out for Pervez Musharraf. Pakistan's ruling coalition has announced it will begin impeachment proceedings against the president.
Party leaders Asif Ali Zardari and Nawaz Sharif made the announcement after three days of talks.
It's a move likely to deepen the political uncertainty in the Muslim nation.
[Asif Ali Zardari, Co-Chairman, PPP Party]:
"The coalition believes, leadership believes, that it has become imperative to move for impeachment under the Article 47 against General Musharraf."
And with the announcement came a stark warning to Musharraf: "Make no attempt at dismissing the government."
Musharraf has been accused of plunging the country into political and economic crises.
A series of measures were implemented by Musharraf seen as an attempt to hang on to power, with the backing of the army who he has heavy influence over. The response of the army for their former chief will be crucial.
[Asif Ali Zardari, Co-Chairman, PPP Party]:
"If someone has no love for Pakistan, if he does this act, it will be his last verdict against (the) people, against (the) people's mandate and against Pakistan."
Following the news, Mr. Musharraf canceled his trip to attend the opening of the Olympic Games in Beijing.
Musharraf's appeal to the opposition to give him another chance seems to have failed. But the President has been weakened before and has not been ready to go. Musharraf has vowed to fight the challenge. All eyes will be on his next move.
