| PPP-Govt. in agreement over national reconciliation ordinance |
 ISLAMABAD: The government and former Pakistani premier Benazir Bhutto agreed Thursday on a national reconciliation accord.
According to sources, a significant meeting was held with President Gen Musharraf in the chair at PM House here, attended by Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz and all members of the cabinet.
Besides, PML-Q Chief Ch. Shujaat Hussain, Secretary General Mushahid Hussain Syed, Chairman Senate Mohammedmian Soomro and NA Speaker Ch. Ameer Hussain also attended the meeting.
In a special session of cabinet being held today (Friday), its summary would be sent to the president for the approval.
The agreement gives an amnesty for politicians who served in Pakistan between 1988 and 1999, effectively clearing opposition leader Bhutto of the corruption charges that forced her into exile eight years ago.
The deal takes some of the pressure off staunch US ally Musharraf ahead of a presidential election on Saturday, a vote that Bhutto had earlier threatened to rob of credibility by pulling her MPs from parliament.
It came after a day of frantic negotiations in Islamabad and in London where two-time Prime Minister Bhutto held talks with key members of her Pakistan People's Party.
"They have agreed on the draft and it will be issued by the president tomorrow. Benazir Bhutto has given her assent," Railways Minister Sheikh Rashid, a close confidant of the president was quoted as saying.
"The agreement says that there will be an across-the-board indemnity for public office holders between 1988 and 1999," a senior government official who has seen the draft said on condition of anonymity.
It also says that if Pakistan's main graft-busting body wants to lodge a case against a politician it must first go through a special parliamentary committee "to avoid allegations of political motivations", the official said.
"The ordinance is not party or person-specific."
Bhutto's party has for its part agreed to withdraw a legal petition filed by its vice president in the Supreme Court that seeks to have the presidential election postponed, the official said. A senior party member in Islamabad confirmed the deal.
"The agreement has been done with the government and we expect the government to issue it tomorrow. We have given it our go-ahead," party lawyer Farooq Naik was quoted as saying.
Officials said the amnesty agreement would not apply to ex-prime minister Nawaz Sharif, whom Musharraf ousted in a coup in 1999 and who was deported soon after flying back to Pakistan in September.
Bhutto said earlier that if a definitive deal was reached, her party members would not quit parliament, but would instead either vote for their own candidate in the polls or abstain.
According to the sources, there is no specific mention of a single party or a person in the reconciliation ordinance; if promulgated as such, it would apply to all the political parties. |

wah wah
kiya bunder baant hay
These "Respected" ministers were saying on TV just day before, why should we take cases back
this is illegal
this is UN-ethical
we are no one to decide or judge bout cases
this is the duty of courts
but now just after one day
what happened to their ethics, judiciary and rule of law
but of course they dont have anything mentioned above
i can only hope that some TV anchor will show them past episodes clippings and will ask them, what is their point of NOW
