I cannot be impeached, says Musharraf

8220;I don8217;t care whether they like or not. I follow the constitution of Pakistan and I was elected according to the constitution of Pakistan.

Anybody who says it was not done constitutionally is absolutely wrong,8221; Musharraf told Financial Times of Britain in an interview.

The former Army Chief said he was prepared to work with a prime minister of the Pakistan People8217;s Party, whose leader Benazir Bhutto was assassinated last month, or former premier Nawaz Sharif8217;s Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz.

8220;I have no choice. According to the constitution, the president has certain powers, but the government is run by the prime minister of Pakistan,8221; he told the daily at the Davos World Economic Forum.

At the same time, the President slammed the retired generals who earlier this week demanded his resignation as he had lost the confidence of Pakistani people.

8220;They are insignificant personalities,8221; Musharraf said, adding 8220;Most of them are ones who served under me and I kicked them out 8230; They are insignificant. I am not even bothered by them.8221; However, Musharraf acknowledged that opinion polls had shown a significant decline in public support for him.

8220;I know that my popularity has reduced,8221; the president said, but argued that he could ride out the current political turmoil in the country.
