There has been no decision on uniform of Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf yet, the private DAWN NEWS TV channel reported Thursday, quoting a presidential spokesman.
Rashid Qureshi, spokesman for the president, said related decision would be made public once the ongoing talks with chairperson of Pakistan People's Party Benazir Bhutto is concluded, according to DAWN NEWS.
Earlier reports quoting the exiled former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto said Musharraf has agreed to step down as Chief of Army Staff, and a decision would be announced by Musharraf himself.
Bhutto served Pakistani prime minister twice during late 1980s and mid-1990s, and later in 1999 went overseas in a self-imposed exile to evade corruption charges against herself and her family.
Vowing to contest the general elections due later this year in Pakistan, Benazir Bhutto is currently undergoing a negotiations on a reported "power-sharing" deal with representatives of Musharraf, who is seeking another five-year presidential term.
According to reports, Bhutto wanted Musharraf to drop corruption charges against her, remove constitutional bar for her to go for a third premiership term, and shift presidential right of dissolving parliament houses to the prime minister.
Bhutto also reportedly asked Musharraf to doff uniform, preferably before the presidential elections.
A cabinet minister Wednesday in Islamabad told a news briefing that the negotiations were in the final stages with 80 percent issues being finalized while uniform of President Musharraf was no more an issue.
