Bhutto plans a political alliance against Musharraf MIL/Agencies, Nov 14, 2007. IR Summary Islamabad, Pakistan: November 14, 2007 – IR Summary -Former Pak Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto has decided to play another political game. She has started forging an alliance with Islamists and other opposition parties to launch a joint campaign against Musharraf’s self imposed authority. Though there was an understanding between Bhutto and Musharraf before her returning to Pakistan after a long exile of 8 years. After promulgation of Emergency by Parvez Musharraf, which Bhutto did not anticipate, she became furious and tried to outplay Musharraf. She was directed to remain at home, not allowed to move about for any of her activities. US Administration intervened and Bhutto was released and after she repeated some undesirable plans and speeches, Mushraff, as a precautionary measure, put her in house arrest for the second time just within a week. In spite of all this, Parez Musharraf wants to run the Pak govt. with the cooperation of Benazir Bhutto but Bhutto looks to have changed her mind after seeing her popularity among the people. Bhutto has decided to move jointly, she contacted her old rivals including Qazi Hussain Ahmed, head of an alliance of Islamist parties, and also cricketer-turned-politician Imran Khan and put up a plan for joint venture against Musharraf. As per Bhutto’s camp and as reported by Reuters: "She's trying to unite all political parties on a minimum agenda to return the country to true democracy," Latif Khosa, a senator and aide to Bhutto, told Reuters by telephone from the eastern city of Lahore. "The minimum agenda is the ouster of General Musharraf and formation of a neutral government of national consensus to organize free and fair elections." Musharraf is waiting and watching Bhutto’s move and may change his strategy not to collaborate with her politically to run the Pak Govt. jointly, as he had already planned.
