He urged the newly elected candidates to take over the reins of the government with particular focus on administrative affairs of the government because a number of projects worth billions of rupees are presently in different stages of completion and need to be completed through proper administration. President Pervez Musharraf reiterated his commitment to carry on war against the scourge of extremism and terrorism and that he would not back out at any cost. He clarified that there is no distance between him and the Pak Army. “This blame game is being played by the same elements who alleged that a strategy is being planned in Governor House Punjab to rig the February 18 elections,” he added. “But the people by their full participation in the polls ensured holding of free, fair and transparent elections which has happened for the first the first time in the history of the country,” President Musharraf claimed.
