Islamabad: Former Pakistan Premier Benazir Bhutto's PPPP (Pakistan People's Party Parliamentarians) on November 7 rejected as "disinformation" campaign reports that it has reached a secret understanding with the Musharraf administration to form a coalition government with (Pakistan Muslim League) PML-Q, even as an anti-corruption court put off a hearing on bail petition of her spouse Asif Ali Zardari till November 13.

"The party debunks the reports being circulated by vested interests of some secret underhand deal between the PPP and the government in the run up to National Assembly's session," PPPP said in a statement in Islamabad.

"The party condemns the reports as deliberate disinformation by the vested interests to subvert the recent forward movement in a broad based understanding between the anti-regime political parties on the platform of Alliance for Restoration of Democracy (ARD) to uphold the supremacy of the Parliament and for the restoration of the Constitution."

Some newspapers had reported that PPPP-PML-Q have reached an understanding to form government with PPPP leader Mukdhum Amin Fahim as the Prime Minister. The reports also spoke of a "deal" between the Musharraf government and Bhutto to release Zardari and permit her to return from self-exile.

Meanwhile, an Accountability Court adjourned the hearing on bail petition in the BMW corruption reference against Zardari, who was tipped to be released on November 7 as part of the "deal", till November 13.

Imprisoned for the past six years, Zardari has been accused of impersonating as a student and importing an armoured luxury vehicle without paying the duty. He is currently in a hospital.
