Musharaff's Resignation Speech Quotes
"False allegations were filed against me and they tried to turn truth into lie and they tried to deceive the people. To impeach is parliament's prerogative and to answer it is my right. I believe in myself and I have faith in my god, Allah, that no charge sheet can stand against me. Not a single charge can be proved against me because I never thought about my own being. Whatever I did was Pakistan first. That was my motto. "BBC News: Musharraf Resignation Speech: Excerpts (August 18, 2008)—Pervez Musharraf"After consulting my legal advisors and closest political supporters and listening to their advice, in the interest of the nation, I resign from my post today. I want to hand over my future to the people's hand and let them be the judges and let them do the justice."BBC News: Musharraf Resignation Speech: Excerpts (August 18, 2008)—Pervez Musharraf
