| Description | Musharraf barracked by [Parliament]
Summary: Pakistan's President Musharraf has been continuously heckled by opposition MPs during his first speech to parliament since taking power in a coup in 1999.
Excerpt: "Go Musharraf, go!", they shouted during his 45-minute address and a small group of MPs walked out. The president called on Pakistan to wage war on extremists and spoke of the need to resolve the Kashmir dispute. A recent deal with hardline Islamic parties enabled a vote of confidence allowing him to stay in power to 2007. The Pakistani leader's message went largely unheard on the floor of the house because of the noisy protest, says the BBC's Paul Anderson in Islamabad. |
