The head of Pakistan’s ruling coalition, Asif Ali Zardari, warned President Pervez Musharraf on Thursday against dismissing Parliament after the coalition decided to begin impeachment proceedings against him.

Zardari asserted that he was not worried by speculation that Musharraf might use Article 52-B of the Constitution empowering the President to dissolve the Assembly.

“If he does it, it will be his last verdict against the people, against the people’s mandate and against Pakistan,” Zardari told a news conference.

“Democracy is not so weak that this article could be invoked.”
