UNITED NATIONS - / MaximsNews Network / - 08 November 2007 --
Former
Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto said in Islamabad Thursday that President
Musharraf's pledge to hold elections by mid-February was insufficient, adding
that he must quit as army chief by next week.
“We
want an exact election date, schedule of elections and a clear date of
Musharraf hanging up his uniform,” Benazir told a news conference. “This
is yet another vague announcement. We want him to hang up his uniform
by November 15.”
Benazir
has vowed to hold a protest rally in the garrison city of Rawalpindi on Friday
and then a “long march” from Lahore to Islamabad on November 13 if
Musharraf does not meet these demands and rescind a state of emergency.
