New Delhi: Hours after the Musharraf regime in Pakistan accorded a rude welcome to former Pakistan prime minister Nawaz Sharif and packed him off to Saudi Arabia on exile, Pakistan People's Party leader Benazir Bhutto on Monday announced her plans to return to Pakistan.
Blaming Nawaz Sharif for Monday's developments, Bhutto said he had compromised his position by involving Saudi and Lebanese leaders to get out of prison. “People contrast that with the heroism shown by my husband and my family in resisting the temptation to run and have charges against you dropped. We have stood up for the people of Pakistan and the political system. Polls show that the Pakistan People's Party and I are most popular leaders in the country. Yes, more popular than even Mr Nawaz Sharif,” she said, speaking exclusively to CNN-IBN’s Karan Thapar.
She added that she was determined to return to her country. “My party intends to announce the date of my return on September 14. We want to announce it from the soil of Pakistan. Once a date is announced, it will be implemented,” she said.
