Musharraf's impeachment is just an 'eyewash': Mumtaz Bhutto

Karachi, Aug.9 : The proposed impeachment of Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf is "nothing but an issue", an "eyewash" claims former caretaker Sindh Chief Minister Mumtaz Ali Bhutto.

In a statement issued from his village, Mirpur Bhutto, Mumtaz said that the PPP is bound under a 'deal' between Musharraf and the PPP, made under American supervision, according to which PPP, PML-Q and MQM are bound to support Musharraf.

He also claimed that PPP Co-Chairman Asif Ali Zardari did not possess the courage to go against the deal.

Bhutto further said that the government had no solution to any problem and blamed the previous government for all crises.

The Daily Times quoted him as saying that the government has created the impeachment 'issue' to divert the attention of the masses from real issues.
