Zardari, Musharraf helped each other through secret deal: PML-Q

KARACHI - Former Pakistan President General Pervez Musharraf’s ’safe’ exit and incumbent President Asif Ali Zardari’s return to the country was part of a deal inked between both leaders, Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid (PML-Q) General Secretary Mushahid Hussain Syed has said.

Interacting with media persons during a press conference here, Syed also revealed that the deal was also backed by international powers.

“This deal was not a usual one as it had the support of international powers,” The News quoted Syed, as saying.

He, however, did not disclose the names of those ‘international powers.’

Syed also claimed that Zardari had entered into a secret deal with former US President George Bush, according to which the US would continue the drone strikes in the country’s tribal areas, nd Islamabad would go on criticising Washington for the missile hits. (ANI)
