    PPP chairman Asif Ali Zardari has alleged that Musharraf “misappropriated” $700 million of aid given by Washington to Islamabad for supporting the war on terror.

    The allegation made by Zardari was also discussed when PML-Q lawmakers — Marvi Memon, Amir Muqam and Sheikh Waqas Ahmed — met Musharraf for about an hour in Rawalpindi.

    After the four provincial assemblies pass separate resolutions asking Musharraf to seek a vote of confidence, the PPP-led coalition will submit an impeachment motion and chargesheet against Musharraf in the National Assembly.

    While there have been questions on whether the coalition had the numbers in the National Assembly and the Senate, Zardari said he was “110 per cent sure” of the success of impeachment motion.

    Both houses of Parliament have a combined strength of 442, and the motion will have to be passed by a two-thirds majority or 295 members. Anti-Musharraf parties have a total of 274 members — 235 in the Assembly and 39 in the Senate — which is short of the magic number.
