ISLAMABAD, June 4: President Pervez Musharraf, threatened by possible impeachment, is reconciled to stepping down before he is forced out of office, according to a senior adviser to the new government.

“He (Musharraf) is prepared to go and go with dignity,” said the source close to the leadership of the Pakistan People’s Party.

“We will try to make it very dignified,” the PPP source said, adding it was politically difficult to be seen helping the president as such a stance risked losing popular support.—Reuters
