“Benazir taken into confidence”

Islamabad: Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf took former Premier Benazir Bhutto into confidence before imposing emergency on the nation, a senior Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) leader has claimed.

“The option of imposing emergency and leaving the country on the orders of presidential camp was the agreed upon conditions in the deal between Benazir and Musharraf,” The News reported here on Sunday, quoting the PPP leader as saying. The unnamed figure in the PPP also flayed the party chairperson for entering into the “pact” with the military ruler.

He said that hatred among some senior party leaders against the PPP’s leadership was increasing day by day. — PTI
