New York, Aug 15 : Former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto has said that she has not violated the Charter of Democracy (CoD) signed with PML-N chief Nawaz Sharif, and said we are partners, not rivals.
Bhutto told German daily Spiegel that the agreement between her and Sharif did not prohibit contact with a military dictator, if that opens up a path back to normalcy.
"Sharif and I have formulated blueprints for the future. We are no longer rivals but rather partners, and we have a common goal. We are the most important players in the historic attempt to restore democracy," she said.
Commenting on her meeting with Musharraf in Abu Dhabi, Bhutto said: "We are discussing the return to democracy and the holding of elections in the near future."
"It is extremely sad that Musharraf is not enforcing law and order in the tribal areas along the border with Afghanistan," Bhutto added.
Musharraf's policy of cease-fires and peace treaties has only kept the Taliban alive and expanded their zone of influence, the Daily Times quoted her, as saying.
Bhutto termed terrorism as the greatest danger, and said our country must not be Talibanised. I am confident that my compatriots will defend themselves against this danger.sked how she would work with a president in uniform, Bhutto made it clear that her party would not work with such a head of state, as it did not want military rule.
