Islamabad (PTI): Pakistan's ruling coalition has offered indemnity and security to President Pervez Musharraf if he resigns before the launch of impeachment proceedings, and the former military ruler is likely to take a decision on quitting in the next few days, a media report said today.

PML-N chief Nawaz Sharif, who had till now been pushing for the trial and punishment of Musharraf, has agreed to change his rigid stance against the President, after US and British Western diplomats pressing for a "safe exit" discussed the matter with Sharif, the Urdu daily Aaj Kal reported today.

The PPP-led coalition has said it plans to submit an impeachment motion and chargesheet against Musharraf in parliament next week. Several top leaders of the coalition have said it is only a matter of days before Musharraf steps down as he is unlikely to face impeachment proceedings in parliament.
