Musharraf undecided on when to take off uniform
font size    

Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf said here Thursday that he has not decided on when to quit his job as chief of his country's armed forces.

In a press conference held at the UN headquarters in New York, the Pakistani leader said his resignation as army chief is not important for a "99 percent democratic country."

"After 99 percent of the glass is filled, the world seems to be too concerned about the one percent and ignored the 99 percent," he said, after listing the democratic progress made in his country.

He said that he still bear in mind some very serious consideration such as the anti-terrorism campaign and the peace talks with India, which called for continuation.

"So when you asked me when will I retire, I am confused," he said.
