Musharraf blames Nawaz for “political unrest” in Pak
Rawalpindi, Aug 15 : Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf has reportedly accused PML-N leader and former premier Nawaz Sharif of creating “political instability” in the country, by repeatedly demanding his Impeachment and ultimately convincing the PPP to go for it.

Maintaining that he would not resign, Musharraf said that he was elected by the Parliament as President for five years and would continue to play his constitutional role for the country.

Meanwhile, PML-N spokesman rejected allegations of Musharraf against Nawaz Sharif and said people were aware who was responsible for this political chaos. “President has already been impeached during general elections on February 18, but a few formalities are now left,” he added.
