The re -electing president of Pakistan called for time to wait with the return to the prime minister in the exile of Benazir Bhutto

President of Pakistan Perevez Musharraf urged the former prime minister of the country Benazir Bhutto to wait to be a return to his homeland from an 8-year foreign exile, Interfax reports. Musharraf recommended that the Supreme Court announces its decision on the presidential election on October 6th.

Recall that the whole difficulty lies in the fact that, according to the law, only a civilian can be the head of state, and Musharraf is a general. The Supreme Court must express his opinion on this subject. And so, as the Pakistani President said in an interview with a private television channel, Bhutto should come later. “We must first resolve the problems,” he explained.

Due to the fact that the court continues to consider this issue, complete uncertainty reigns in Pakistan now, and the return of the disgraced prime minister can only aggravate it.

The Pakistani People’s Party (PNP), the head of which is Bhutto, immediately rejected the appeal of the President of Pakistan. The representative of the PNP Farchatullah Babar told reporters that "Mrs. Bhutto will arrive on October 18, as planned."

Recall that Benazir Bhutto was forced to leave Pakistan eight years ago, when serious accusations of corruption and abuse of powers in 1985-1990 were brought against her. Last week, Musharraf removed these accusations , which became one of the conditions for supporting the former Prime Minister of his further stay as head of the Pakistani state. General Musharraf came to power as a result of a military coup in 1999. Since then, Musharraf retained the posts of both the president and the army commander.

After the amnesty, Bhutto no longer threatened to arrest in his homeland and she is going to actively engage in the preparation of PNP for the coming in January 2008 by the parliamentary elections, notes, ITAR-TASS notes. In case of a successful performance of her party, she plans to take the post of prime minister for the third time.
