August 15, 2008
Washington, DC - Chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee Joseph R. Biden Jr. (D-DE) issued the following statement today about the Pakistani political situation and the political future of President Musharraf:
“I am heartened by the reconciliation of the leading political parties in Pakistan and their decision to break the deadlock, which has virtually immobilized the Pakistani government in recent months. The political future of President Musharraf is a matter to be decided by the Pakistani people, through normal constitutional channels. I urge the parties, the Pakistani military and President Musharraf to resolve this crisis within the bounds of Pakistani law – and I urge the Bush Administration to refrain from any actions which might appear to thwart the will of the Pakistani people.”
