Peshawar 31 Jan: A group of retired Pakistani military officers have urged President Pervez Musharraf to step down and hand over power to the chief justice he sacked nearly three months ago.
The demand came at a meeting of the Pakistan Ex-Servicemen Society in Islamabad, the latest show of dissent against former army chief Musharraf by the group of 200 retired generals, air marshals and other officers.
"Musharraf should step down and hand over power to Justice [Iftikhar Muhammad] Chaudhry, who is still constitutional chief justice," former Pakistan Air Force chief Asghar Khan told reporters.
