Islamabad (DNS): Pakistan's ruling coalition on Thursday declared that it will launch impeachment proceedings against President Pervez Musharraf, accusing him of "eroding" trust of the nation through his policies and actions।
"We have good news for democracy। The coalition believes it is imperative to move for impeachment against General Musharraf," PPP Chairman Asif Ali Zardari told a joint press conference with PML-N leader Nawaz Sharif after intense parleys between the two sides for the past three days on the issue.
"We will present a chargesheet against Musharraf," Zardari said without giving a timeframe for the impeachment of the 64-year-old beleaguered President।
On the issue of judges sacked by Musharraf during the emergency rule last year, the PPP chief said all the deposed justices will be reinstated immediately after the impeachment of the Presidency।
Echoing Zardari's views, Sharif said he was in "total agreement" with his ally on the decision of impeaching Musharraf, whose ouster the former Premier's party has been demanding for a long time।
Zardari blamed Musharraf for the economic woes of Pakistan and said his policies had "eroded" the trust of the nation।
Earlier, an unnamed PPP Cabinet member, who participated in discussions between the two parties, was quoted as saying by Dawn News channel that the ruling coalition is expected to move an impeachment motion against Musharraf in Parliament on August 11
