Islamabad : Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf, who said he would make an "important announcement in one week", has convened a meeting of the National Security Council Monday to take stock of the political and security situation.
Issues relating to the current political scenario, law and order, Talibanisation in the tribal areas, the judicial crisis and the floods in the country are likely to be on the agenda, Daily Times said Saturday.
Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz, chief ministers of all four provinces, chiefs of armed forces, Senate chairman Muhammadmian Soomro, National Assembly Speaker Chaudhry Amir Hussain and National Security Council Secretary General Tariq Aziz are scheduled to attend the meeting, which will be chaired by the president.
On Friday, Musharraf had told a media workshop that he would address the nation and make "an important announcement in one week". He, however, did not elaborate.
The general elections promised by Musharraf later this year, his own bid for a second presidential term, his behind-the-scene talks with some political parties and the nationwide agitation sparked by his suspension of chief justice Iftikhar Mohammed Chaudhry are some issues that have sparked off intense debate in Pakistan's political circles in recent weeks.
