WASHINGTON: White House has asked President Musharraf to quit the army office before he is sworn in as the president.State Department spokesman Sean McCormack said, "The United States is deeply disturbed by reports." "A state of emergency would be a sharp setback for Pakistani democracy and takes Pakistan off the path toward civilian rule. President Musharraf has stated repeatedly that he will step down as chief of army staff before re-taking the presidential oath of office and has promised to hold elections by Jan. 15. We expect him to uphold these commitments and urge him to do so immediately." The state of emergency complicates what was already, in the view of U.S. officials, a complicated relationship.
