Islamabad, Sep 14: The ruling Pakistan Muslim League (Qaumi) President Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain has said that Sehba Musharraf would be a covering candidate for her husband President Pervez Musharraf in the presidential election.

Chaudhry Shujaat said that the PML-Q was ready to consult other parties to remove their reservations on the presidential poll.

The Daily Times quoted Shujaat as saying that he had no objections to the return of Kulsoom Nawaz, wife of former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, to Pakistan.

According to the Pakistani Military and police reports, two bomb blasts occurred in a bus and a business centre in the Pakistani city of Rawalpindi today, killing 29 people comprising 10 Pakistani Atomic Energy Commission employees, and injuring more than 60.

The blasts have heightened the sense of crisis in Pakistan amid political doubt prior to elections.

Former Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif promised to return home on September 10, 2007. Nawaz Sharif has been exiled for years, and now he has risks of arrest on returning to his land.

At a news conference, Sharif said that it is his duty to challenge what he called the illegitimate rule of military learder President Pervez Musharraf.

Bangladesh and Pakistan have discarded charges that Islamic battlers based in the two nations were accountable for the couple of bombardments that tore through a well-known eating place and a park in the southern Indian city of Hyderabad on Saturday, killing 42 people.

After an emergency state cabinet conference on Sunday, the chief minister of Andhra Pradesh state, YS Rajasekhara Reddy said, “Available information points to the involvement of terrorist organizations based in Bangladesh and Pakistan.”
