By IRNA,
Islamabad : Co-chairman Pakistan People’s Party, Asif Ali Zardari has disclosed that President Pervez Musharraf attempted to sabotage the present set up due to which the government was forced to take an extreme measure of his impeachment.
In his interview to a UK based newspaper, he also disclosed that his government would investigate the appropriation of American aid given for supporting the war on terror.
Zardari said the Army was only receiving about a quarter of the $1 billion annual funds from the US.
He said the army was only getting 250-300 million dollars and that the loss of the remaining 700 million dollars was not something to be taken lightly.
He added that the official explanation was that the money had gone towards budget support.
He asserted that his party was actively looking for the money.
When questioned about the new drive towards impeachment, Zarari says he offered Musharraf an honourable exit that the latter had refused.
Zardari claims he was left with no choice but to go along with Nawaz Sharif’s more aggressive approach.
