A guard of honour composed of service personnel from the army, navy and air force greeted him as he arrived at armed forces headquarters in Rawalpindi, a garrison city near the capital Islamabad, where the army has its headquarters and other key facilities. After the colourful ceremony, Musharraf met with senior commanders of the three services. Musharraf, who wore his general's uniform, did not make any comments to journalists who were being taken on a military-conducted visit to cover the ceremonies. Aides to Musharraf announced he would retire on Wednesday as chief of Pakistan's army, whose generals have ruled the country for most of its life since independence from British rule in 1947. The opposition has demanded that Musharraf relinquish his role as military chief, and rescind a state of emergency he declared on November 3. Musharraf spokesman Rashid Qureshi said the president would make "farewell visits" before ending a military career that began in 1964. Musharraf's successor, General Ashfaq Kayani, a former chief of the country's powerful intelligence service, was expected to take charge on Wednesday. Qureshi said on Monday that on Thursday, Musharraf will take oath of office as president of Pakistan as a civilian. Musharraf has faced growing opposition since March, when he tried unsuccessfully to fire the Supreme Court's top judge. The political crisis was aggravated when Musharraf declared emergency rule, citing an increase in militancy in the country's northwest. The general also accused the Supreme Court of overstepping its authority and paralysing the government, just as it was about to rule on the validity of his victory in a recent presidential election. Musharraf now faces strong opposition from two of his key opponents, Nawaz Sharif and Benazir Bhutto, both former prime ministers who have returned from exile in time for crucial parliamentary elections slated for January 8.
