Coup-makers may retain parliamentPakistan's army chief, General Pervez Musharraf, who overthrew the civilian government on Tuesday, has met President Rafiq Tarar amid indications that the coup-makers wish to retain the country's parliamentary system, press reports said today. General Musharraf went to the president late yesterday after day-long deliberations among military commanders at the general headquarters in Rawalpindi on the options open to them for a replacement of ousted Prime Minister Nawaz Sharief. They dismissed the government after the premier sacked their chief, General Musharraf. From the very start, the ''coup-makers were reluctant to impose martial law''. The other options reportedly discussed by them were allowing the existing parliament to elect a new leader in place of Nawaz Sharief or to form a broad-based national government. UNI ALSO SEE
