President's exit lights up Pakistani faces
August 18, 2008
The PPP-led coalition had been tightening the noose around Musharraf, threatening to table a chargesheet against him in Parliament on Tuesday.
Hundreds of PPP workers burst into celebrations outside the home of party co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari on hearing of the President's decision to step down.
The workers distributed sweets and shouted slogans hailing slain party chairperson Benazir Bhutto and her widower Zardari.
