ISLAMABAD: President Pervez Musharraf Saturday continued to hold consultations with the constitutional experts on the issue of his impeachment. The President on the occasion said he will not step down, and instead, fight the impeachment move. Reports said he held detailed meetings separately with the constitutional experts Sharifuddin Pirzada and Attorney General Malik Muhammad Qayyum on Saturday.
Sources say that the president discussed the various constitutional options available to him in case the impeachment goes ahead. The constitutional experts briefed the President in detail about the options available to him in case of the impeachment and also about his rights, sources added.
On the occasion, use of 58-2(b) also came under discussion. The President was informed that once the impeachment proceedings get initiated he would not be able to challenge it in any court of law, sources said.
President Musharraf termed as baseless all the statements being made in the media about his resignation and that he would face the impeachment and make his position clear on the allegations leveled against him in the charge sheet. The sources also say that the President will make his strategy public in the next 24 to 36 hours after he completes consulting the constitutional experts.-SANA
