ISLAMABAD: PPP-P general secretary Raja Pervez Ashraf has said general Pervez Musharraf is not acceptable as uniformed president adding uniform is negation of democracy.
He said this while addressing a press conference here Tuesday. He held people of Pakistan love democracy and they want democracy in the country. President Musharraf will not be accepted in uniform.
He underscored that Benazir Bhutto interview with certain European newspapers has been presented out of context. The reports on deal are sheer assumptions, he said adding government is on the forefront in launching propaganda blitz against PPP.
PPP wants transparent elections, he underscored. The country will land in crisis if it is not done so, he cautioned. As per survey conducted by International Republican Institute (IRI), Benazir Bhutto is the most popular leader in Pakistan. General Pervez Musharraf is rated at No 2 and Nawaz Sharif stands next to general Musharraf at popularity index. Survey has proved PPP is popular party and it has roots in masses, he claimed. PPP will express solidarity with chief justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry today in front of Supreme Court building, he told. We will welcome him in Lahore too, he added.
