The information minister said that the people of Pakistan had paid a heavy price while suffering a one-man rule. "It was Gen Musharraf's reluctance to clear the way for a civilian rule that triggered political disorder in the country. PPP leader Shaheed Benazir Bhutto lost her life for the political struggle to fight the crisis created by his illegitimate hold on power." The information minister said that Gen Musharraf's resignation was the result of the coalition government's determination to move towards complete transition to democracy.
She said during the last week, all the four provincial assemblies had passed resolutions with clear majority calling for his impeachment. "This reflects the elected government's understanding of the public opinion and willingness to take responsibility for creating a political system that caters to the public's democratic aspirations." She pointed out that immediately after his resignation, Pak rupee registered a sharp rise against the dollar, while the Karachi Stock Exchange rose by nearly 500 points.
