Sunday Telegraph of UK has revealed that President Musharraf is preparing for a dignified exit. According to the paper, President Musharraf was ready to leave office just after the elections, but then stopped by the leaders of PML-Q because they feared it would aggravate the crisis.
By any means, it’s a very good news, even if its false and a rumor. PML-Q perhaps stopped President Musharraf because they feared it would create a mass stampede in their already dilapidated cadres. After this news, which has been denied by Rashid Qureshi, there would be mass defections in PML-Q.
This news is too good to be true.
Thanks. This news item appears to be very credible. Now we’ll have people saying what a good man he was (this usually happens in Pakistan).

I went to the newspaper’s website but didn’t find this news there. It seems to be a rumour. I don’t think Musharraf is the kind of man who will give up so easily.
