Islamabad: In an attempt to counter Pakistan government's plans to try former Premier Benazir Bhutto on charges of treason for her recent statements that she vetoed a Kargil type attack against India, the Opposition has demanded a probe into reports of leaks of the contents of the recent Corps Commanders meet.

The Opposition parties have said they want a judicial probe into the reports that contents of the recent Corps Commanders meeting have been allegedly leaked to India. They also want an investigation into the detention of four Army personnel for links with extremists.

At a press conference addressed jointly by Pakistan People's Party (PPP), Pakistan Muslim League-N, (PML-N) and six-party Islamist alliance, Muthahida Majlis Amal (MMA) on September 5, PML-N leader Javed Hashmi alleged that the arrested Army offices were taken into custody for attempts to stage a military coup against Musharraf.

Hashmi, a former Minister in Sharif government also demanded that government should tell the public about the time Musharraf informed the deposed Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif about the Army's plans to take over Kargil.

The report, which was also carried by local media in Islamabad was denied by Pakistan Defence spokesman.

Hashmi said the Army should inquire into the reports. "The watchmen have become thieves and vice versa," he claimed adding defence secrets were not safe in the hands of the Generals.
