ISLAMABAD: Presidential spokesman Retd. Major General Rashid Qureshi late Sunday denounced the allegations of corruptions leveled against President Musharraf and termed them “Baseless”.President Musharraf did not misappropriate U.S aid mounting millions of dollars, which was released in connection with war on terror, and that President’s record is transparent and no one can blame him, he told foreign news agency.Presidential spokesman said that we have kept record of every penny received in form of U.S aid to fight against terrorism and it could be produced any time for accountability.Earlier, PPP co-Chairman Asif Ali Zardari in his interview to a UK based newspaper, disclosed that his government would investigate the appropriation of American aid given for supporting the war on terror. Zardari said the Army was only receiving about a quarter of the $1 billion annual funds from the US.
The army was only getting 250-300 million dollars and that the loss of the remaining 700 million dollars was not something to be taken lightly. He added that the official explanation was that the money had gone towards budget support and his party was actively looking for the money.Rashid Qureshi said that President Musharraf would not step down instead he would face impeachment process.
