Musharraf won’t meet Benazir

Published January 22, 2002

ISLAMABAD, Jan 21: The government on Monday contradicted a report which suggested that a meeting between President Pervez Musharraf and PPP Chairperson Benazir Bhutto was on the cards during the former’s upcoming visit to the US.

“No such meeting has been envisaged or planned during the president’s forthcoming visit to the US,” an official spokesman said in a rebuttal.

“The meeting is neither being arranged by a common friend in Pakistan embassy in the US.

“The question of the president meeting Benazir Bhutto does not arise. Such speculative stories are only figment of imagination and carry no truth at all,” he added.
