PPP-government deal embarrassment to deniers: Sindh CM


Sindh Chief Minister Arbab Ghulam Rahim on Tuesday claimed that Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Chairwoman and former prime minister Benazir Bhutto had accepted Gen Pervez Musharraf as president in uniform, which was a serious blow to those who had been denying the party would do a deal with the government, Geo television reported.
Talking to reporters, Mr Rahim said the Pakistan Muslim League was growing stronger day by day as other political parties were joining it. He said Ms Bhutto should come to Pakistan and vote for Gen Musharraf before talking about inking a deal.

Those accepting Gen Musharraf as their leader were welcome to the ruling camp, he said. To a question about corruption cases against Ms Bhutto, he said this matter was for the courts to decide.
