ISLAMABAD: In a major set back to embattled President Pervez Musharraf, the Pakistan People's Party-led government has said it will "have to leave" the "unpopular" former military ruler if it is to survive in power.
The government will not change its policy towards Musharraf in spite of US President George Bush's support for the beleaguered leader.
Bush had last week made a phone call expressing support for Musharraf in his "personal capacity" and it should not be taken as backing by the US government, defence minister Chaudhry Ahmed Mukhtar has said.
The PPP leadership's top priority is "to save the government" even if it has to sacrifice its relationship with any person.
