Pervez Musharraf was in Jacobabad earlier today to inaugurate a new potable water supply project. His comments, however, ventured out of the territory of drinkable water and into the recent dubious reports that he was being pushed out by Gen. Ashfaq Kayani. An assertive Musharraf said: “This is my Army. This Army will never leave me.”

He also said the next parliament will convene within two weeks.  A senior government official had said earlier that the body would convene by this coming Wednesday. Looks like someone’s not going to “behave like a fatherly figure.” Deals are to be made.
