LAHORE, Oct 8: PPP Federal Council secretary-general Khalid Khan Kharal has said that President Gen Pervez Musharraf cannot undo the so-called power-sharing deal with Ms Benazir Bhutto due to presence of foreign guarantors.

Addressing a press conference on Monday, Mr Kharal said the president and his team had negotiated with the PPP leadership under the pressure of foreign guarantors.

He criticised the statement of Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain regarding the National Reconciliation Ordinance (NRO). He said the PML leader was a non-serious person.

He said the PML leader was trying to torpedo the political reconciliation process for his personal interests.

Mr Kharal sought to dispel reports that the PPP had held dialogue with the PML team for achieving the NRO.
