Benazir and Nawaz , the two arch enemies, has said that they would boycott the polls if their are demands are not. They think that free and fair elections cannot be held under the present setup.
They have not finalized their demands yet. They say that they have formed a committee to draft it.
Meanwhile, American ambassador to Pakistan is making hectic efforts to persuade these political parties to participate in the polls.
As a Pakistani, I think these two leaders are once again making the wrong political moves.
They must release that if they succeed in toppling Musharraf they will face tough time ahead. Whoever comes to power will have to do the dirty assignments of Americans. They will have to fight to Taliban in the tribal belt and extremists in all parts of Pakistan.
Their actions will only destabilize the country and make the task of western powers easier to break Pakistan.
There is not doubt Musharraf is a dictator. But he had kept the dangers at bay from Pakistan. Now it is up to Pakistani Army to decide whether they support the Punjabi Nawaz or CIA favourite Benazir.
Both these leaders have become threat to the security of Pakistan. Both are being helped by outside powers.
