Benazir Bhutto was taken into confidence regarding imposition of 'emergency plus' in the country and was asked to leave the country as per already finalised deal with General Musharraf, a senior Pakistan People's Party (PPP) leader based in Islamabad confided to The News on Saturday night.
"The option of imposing emergency and leaving the country on the orders of presidential camp was the agreed upon conditions in the deal between Benazir and Musharraf," the PPP leader said adding, "We are ashamed of the role played by Benazir and some other PPP leaders and will take appropriate action and measures to sustain the anti-dictatorship image of the party." The senior PPP leader (not a lawyer) told this correspondent that hatred among some senior party leaders against its leadership was increasing day by day. He revealed that during the meeting of central executive committee of PPP one night before Benazir left the country, almost all the leaders asked Benazir to remain in the country and lead the workers to resist the possible imposition of martial law under the cover of emergency. He disclosed that Benazir assured the top party leadership during the meeting that if she left the country in the next few days, she would be back before November 9, the day she was supposed to address a mass public gathering in Rawalpindi. He said that Benazir was repeatedly requested during the meeting not to leave the country till the announcement of verdict on Musharraf's eligibility by the Supreme Court, however, she didn't give any importance to the suggestion of almost all the senior party leaders. <!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
