GEO News Reports Musharraf Will Address Nation and Remain in Pindi

GEO News’ Islamabad Bureau Chief Absar Alam reports Pervez Musharraf will address the nation today and could resign from the presidency.

In his initial report, Alam said that Musharraf will remain in Rawalpindi and receive legal indemnity.   In subsequent reports Alam said that Musharraf could announce his resignation on the principle that he will be given indemnity by the major political forces, guaranteed by friendly foreign powers.

Alam said the PML-N remains against indemnity. [There are, however, enough parliamentary votes from the PPP, PML-Q, MQM, and ANP to pass a law giving Musharraf indemnity.]
