A good friend and a very reliable source has told me only a few minutes ago that something is cooking. He wasn’t very clear about what that something might be. I trust his sources, and I thought I should share it with you. According to him:
“Musharaff is here only for a few more days. Someone else (from within Army) is going to take over, with Musharaff thrown out – an honorable discharge”. The new interim government will be made up of civilians, pretty much like the earlier stint of Moeen Qureshi. Shariff will be tried for corruption charges in the civil courts, and charge about his conspiracy to have the plane diverted will be tried in the Military courts. Situation looks very bad. There is a rift in the Army and the top brass is not very happy with Musharaff and his ideas. Particularly his unilateral move to call the troops back from the borders with India. He is only in-charge on paper. Three other more senior officers are running the show.”
This is the same friend who told me about the coup in progress while Musharaff was still in Sri Lanka. I heard it before his plane had landed in Karachi. So I trust him. This friend is high up in the Armed Forces.
It is only a matter of days!
