Brussels : President Pervez Musharraf has ruled out any possibility of rigging in the upcoming general elections and said his government has made “fool-proof” arrangements to put Pakistan on the path to “true democracy”.
Addressing a gathering of the Pakistani community here Sunday, Musharraf also said the Scotland Yard probe into former premier Benazir Bhutto’s assassination will help determine the cause of her death and expose the elements who were behind the act.
Musharraf, who is on a four-nation European visit, the first major trip abroad since Bhutto was assassinated, said the British sleuths were expected to give its report on their investigation soon.
The Pakistan President was hopeful that a truly representative government will come to power after the Feb 18 general election and strengthen democratic institutions in his country.
Ruling out any possibility of rigging in the upcoming polls, he said “fool-proof arrangements” have been made to put the country on the path to “true democracy”.
Musharraf has been facing Western pressures to ensure that the polls are free and fair.
He said the elimination of terrorism is a major goal of the country and “we will succeed in it”. The Pakistan Army has made “major headway” by successfully targeting terrorist hideouts in South and North Waziristan, the President added.
