By Adnan Rafique
ISLAMABAD—Caretaker information minister Nisar Memon has said Pervez
Musharraf has been elected as president for five years and the foreign
media report about his exit from power is condemnable.
He said this while addressing inauguration ceremony of Pakistan
Institute of Broadcasting and Information Technology in Ali Pur Farash
and later talking to the media men Monday.
Responding to a question about resignation of President Pervez Musharraf
he said such elements are behind this conspiracy who are working under a
pre-conceived plan. “We strongly condemn it”, he added. President
Musharraf has been elected for five years and statement splashed in
foreign media is condemnable, he held. President Musharraf re-launched
democratic process in the country after taking over his office. Local
government elections were held. He took oath as a civilian president and
now ensured holding of elections in fair and transparent manner, Memon
remarked.
He went on to say president Musharraf took forceful steps to bring
stability in the country besides providing protection to common man.
Armed forces, judiciary and president should not be involved in the
politics and the people should respect these institutions, he added.
President is symbol of federation, therefore his office should be given
due regard for the sake of supremacy of democracy, he observed.
