Aide rules out resignation

Published August 11, 2008

ISLAMABAD: President Musharraf will not resign, despite mounting calls that he step aside to spare Pakistan the trauma of a bitter impeachment process, his spokesman said on Sunday.

“People who are saying President Musharraf will resign — they are either lying or they simply don’t know his nature,” Spokesman Rashid Qureshi told the Associated Press. “President Musharraf is a man of character and no one can point a finger at him. He has a clean track record.”

Mr Qureshi declined to say what course of action the president would take.
