HYDERABAD, Aug 10: The Pakistan Peace Coalition on Sunday warned Gen Pervez Musharraf against exercising powers vested in the office of the president under Article 58(2)B of the Constitution because the people would not accept it.

Adam Malik who presided over the meeting said that the ruling coalition reflected true sentiments of the people expressed in the form of vote in Feb 18 general elections.
The meeting called upon the members of parliament and assemblies to show respect to democratic aspirations of people and vote for impeachment regardless of party affiliation.
