Pervez Musharraf didn't declare an emergency state in Pakistan by Ana Maria Ciobanu

George Bush asked Pakistan to organize fair elections considering the increasing violence and the political problems happening in the country. The Pakistan leader Pervez Musharraf eventually didn't declare an emergency state as it was speculated. This measure would have allowed him to postpone the election. Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf continues to lose popularity but he also continues to benefit from Washington's support, being one of the most important allays in the fight against terrorism. The American Leader has asked President Musharraf to take some serious measures against the terrorism suspects, relying on the information obtained by the Secret Services. George Bush told the press he has no reasons to believe the Pakistan President will declare an emergency state in his country. A spokesman of the Pakistan Government declared that general Musharraf didn't declare an emergency state because he wanted to prove his loyalty towards democracy. Internal tensions in Pakistan have increased after last month's incident when the Government's troupes occupied a radical mosque. Over 100 persons were killed. Besides these internal issues, the safety in the north-west area of the country, at the Afghanistan border has deteriorated and a Pakistan minister stated that the American threats concerning a possible mission in the tribal areas, only made things worst.
