The US is still sceptical about Pakistan's claim that the Taliban has been flushed out. But Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari is already basking in the victory, for which he says he was the guiding force.
"It's the victory of the people and the Parliament. I was just the guiding force," said he.
He also spoke on Musharraf's arrest saying that he had not asked for a case to be filed against ex-president General Musharraf, saying his own party - the PPP - is for reconciliation not revenge.
"I have nothing personal against anyone and nor do I want it that way. The rest is upto Parliament. The Prime Minister is on record to have said that whatever Parliament does and says, the government of the day will follow. We are hoping to bring civility to Pakistan," he stated.
The Islamabad police had registered a criminal case on Monday against Musharraf (FIR No 131 dated 10-08-09) under section 344/34 of the Pakistan Penal Code following the orders of the Additional Sessions Judge, Islamabad, Mohammad Akmal Khan.
Khan was acting on a petition filed by advocate Mohammad Aslam Ghuman seeking action against Musharraf for ordering the confinement of the Supreme Court judges.
The FIR states that Musharraf and others had detained the Supreme Court judges and their families at their houses and their children were neither allowed to attend school nor permitted to appear in examinations.
Judge Khan's order came 11 days after the Supreme Court July 31 held that Musharraf had acted extra-judicially, illegally and unconstitutionally in declaring an emergency and sacking the apex court judges.
A 14-member bench headed by Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammed Chaudhry, however, stopped short of censuring Musharraf as had been demanded in a petition the court was hearing against the declaration of the emergency.
The Supreme Court had summoned Musharraf, who is currently in London on a lecture tour, to appear before it July 29 in person or through his lawyer but he failed do so.
