Musharraf guilty of 'second coup': Bhutto Press
TV Former Pakistani premier Benazir Bhutto Sunday accused President Pervez Musharraf of staging a "second coup" which would only fuel radicalism in the nuclear-armed country. Interviewed on US network CBS, Bhutto said Pakistani judges and opposition parties would not take the military ruler's declaration of emergency rule "lying down." "I'm very disappointed that General Musharraf has suspended the constitution of our country and promulgated a provisional constitutional order," she said, accusing him of staging a "second coup" after first seizing power in 1999.
"Ironically this is a coup conducted by General Musharraf against his own regime in a sense because he's acted in his capacity as army chief to suspend the constitution and to declare a new provisional constitution.
