US Deputy Secretary of State John Negroponte has started his official activities in Pakistan by making a telephone call to PPP chairperson Benazir Bhutto and later holding a meeting with President Musharraf.
According to an editorial comment, contrary to the pledges given repeatedly by the president to the nation and the opposition, the caretaker government that took the oath of office on Friday is anything but neutral. We had been told all along by President Pervez Musharraf and former Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz that the caretaker governments in Islamabad and in the four provinces that would oversee the general election would be truly neutral.
However, as it emerged on Friday, the interim government, with Mohammedmian Soomro as prime minister, consists largely of PML-Q men and President Musharraf’s cronies.
