Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf did not declare a state of emergency in the country, reportedly over fears of a severe public reaction against it.
Lahore, Aug 10 : Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf did not declare a state of emergency in the country, reportedly over fears of a severe public reaction against it.
According to a Geo TV report, a high-level meeting chaired by Musharraf had decided on Tuesday night to impose an emergency in the country, but the President did not proclaim it.
Pakistan Muslim League president Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain, Punjab Chief Minister Pervaiz Elahi and Sindh Chief Minister Arbab Ghulam Rahim pressed Musharraf to impose emergency, some other prominent leaders opposed it.
"The Muttahida Qaumi Movement leaders, Balochistan Chief Minister Jam Muhammad Yousaf, PML Secretary General Syed Mushahid Hussain and the chief of an intelligence agency opposed the proposal to impose emergency," the channel quoted sources, as saying.
The government's legal advisers-- Sharifudin Pirzada and Justice (r) Malik Qayyum-- had seconded the proposal for the imposition of emergency, the Daily Times reported.
