Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf [Images] has said that he will quit if the new government formed after the general election next month tried to impeach him.

"If that (impeachment) happens, let me assure that I would be leaving office before they do anything. If they won with this kind of majority and they formed a government that had the intention of doing this, I wouldn't like to stick around," Musharraf said in an interview to Singapore's Straits Times.

Two-thirds majority in Parliament is required for any impeachment proceeding and the possibility of slain former premier Benazir Bhutto's [Images] PPP and Nawaz Sharif's PML-N together getting it after next month's elections is not being ruled out.

The President said Bhutto, with whom he was reported to be having power-sharing talks, was 'brave' but got 'carried away' in the euphoria of the public support in her last rally, where she was killed.

"She was brave. Certainly she was brave," he said of Bhutto.

When asked if he thought she was foolhardy, Musharraf replied: "No. In the euphoria of public support at her fatal rally, when thousands of people are there to cheer you, you do get carried away. When people start waving, you do things that you might not otherwise do. But certainly I would say that getting out of the vehicle was an unwise thing to do."

Musharraf also said the mystery of whether a bullet wound killed the PPP leader or not could only be solved by exhuming the body, but the move was blocked by Bhutto's husband.

He added that the only evidence, which could settle speculation about the bullet wound apart from photographs taken at the site of the attack, was an X-ray of Bhutto's skull.
