Musharraf planning referendum?

ISLAMABAD, FEB. 3. In a bid to legitimise his rule, the Pakistan military ruler, Gen. Pervez Musharraf, is reportedly planning to hold a referendum next month.

Soon after his military coup in October last year, the General had announced that he would hold a referendum, but he dropped the idea. However, BusinessRecorder, published from Karachi, quotes sources as saying that he was planning to hold the referendum next month.
