Islamabad, Apr 1: The new government in Islamabad has reportedly told Washington that it won’t tolerate any mess from Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf, and assured it that it will not make any moves to remove Musharraf from his present post.

The message was conveyed to two senior State Department officials John Negroponte and Richard Boucher, who made an unscheduled visit to Islamabad last month on the occasion of transition of power.
