Pakistan president expands power amid opposition critique
Nawabzada Nasrullah Khan calls the expansion of presidential powers helpless while Musharraf defends a guided democracy. He cites a 1999 bloodless coup in which President Sharif was toppled, cites a three year civilian restoration deadline, and notes the National Security Council to include military leaders. Critics link these moves to military governance and war on terrorism.
