Analysts wonder whether Mr Musharraf would risk sacking his government

The decision by Pakistan’s new ruling alliance to impeach the country’s President, Pervez Musharraf, has sparked jubilation as well as fears across the country.

If current opinion polls are anything to go by, Mr Musharraf has become the most unpopular leader in the country’s history.

His public standing suffered a setback in March 2007 when he sacked Pakistan’s chief justice.
