Musharraf puts in his papers
August 18, 2008
As political parties, fresh from their win in the general elections, bayed for his blood, Musharraf also found no public support from his earlier backer US or his handpicked successor, Army Chief General Ashfaq Kayani.
India is concerned that the ouster of Musharraf, who is perceived as relatively moderate, could lead to a "big vacuum" in Pakistan that will give freedom to radical extremist elements to do "what they like".
