KARACHI: Pakistan Muslim League (Functional) chief Pir Pagara on Saturday stated that the current government would not be able to complete its term and that the military would take over in the year 2012, DawnNews reported.

Speaking to DawnNews, Pagara said reopening the Zulfikar Bhutto case was a legal matter but "of no practical purpose".

He further said that the government was going bankrupt and that was why it was increasing the prices of commodities.

Pagara said in case of an election the Muslim Leagues would come together and reunite.
