Islamabad : Minister for Information and Broadcasting, Sherry Rehman Friday said the special committee has finalized the draft charge-sheet against President and presented the document to Minister for Law and Justice.
Talking to journalists after a meeting of the special committee tasked to prepare a draft charge-sheet to impeach President Pervez Musharraf, she said the charge-sheet is a technical document and Law Minister will look into so that it could be presented to the coalition leadership.
“This document is expected to be sent to leadership of coalition partners by Sunday or Monday and then it would be presented in the Parliament,” she added.
Information Minister Sherry Rehman said the government was taking along all its coalition partners on the issue of impeachment and described this move as “historical and fight for democracy.”
She said three provinces have already passed resolutions in favour of impeachment and expressed the hope that Balochistan assembly would also give its verdict in a similar manner.
The minister said the passage of resolution from provincial assemblies has given a clear message that people were in favour of impeachment and wanted to see a true democratic and prosperous country.
Answering to a question whether President would be given a safe passage, she said this decision would be taken by the coalition partners. However, article 44 of the constitution allows the president to opt for resignation, she elaborated.
Replying to another question, she said a joint parliament session is expected to be summoned next week so that a resolution to impeach the President could be presented in the House.
“All know, who is behind de-stabilization. These are the President’s actions which are de-stabilizing the country. We just want political stability and we are committed to our decision to impeach the President,” she added.
She said the credit for this constitutional step goes to all democratic forces.
