Islamabad: Former Pakistan Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto has said she would have no problems assuming the post of Prime Minister again with General Pervez Musharraf as the President.

She said that a good working relationship between her and President Pervez Musharraf would be a necessity for the country.

She added that it would be an honour for her to become the Prime Minister of the country again, if people vote for her party in the forthcoming general elections.

“If the people vote for my party and parliament elects me as the Prime Minister, it would be an honour for me to take up that role and General Musharraf would be there as President. So, I think that a good working relationship between him and me would be a necessity for Pakistan,” The News quoted her as saying in an interview to The Times.

“I would have the choice of either respecting the will of the people and making it a success or being short-sighted and putting my personal feelings about past events ahead of the national interest, and what I want more than anything is for Pakistan to prosper as we make a transition to democracy,” she said.

Benazir went on to announce that she would go back to Pakistan by the end of this year “whether Musharraf would like it or not”.

She expressed hope that all corruption cases against her would be dropped, saying that for more than a decade these charges have been used against her for political mileage.

“Not one single case has been dropped and you will please note that between my mother, my father-in-law and myself there are about 20 charges or more. And what I feel and my party feels is that for more than a decade these charges have been used to hobble the opposition, to undermine my leadership and the PPP, and they should be dropped because none of them has been proven,” she said.

What's your reaction?
