Musharraf heckled during parliamentary debut
Pakistan's military ruler, General Pervez Musharraf, faced a hostile reception in his first speech to parliament since seizing power in a coup in 1999, with some of his opponents walking out.

According to Aljazeera's correspondent, members of at least six Islamist groups walked out of the joint session of parliament shortly after the president began speaking.

Others drowned out his words with shouts of "Down with Dictatorships", "Go Musharraf Go! and "No Musharraf No!".

In the nationally televised spectacle, pro-military politicians banged their benches in support of Musharraf, who nevertheless remained unruffled and raised a defiant fist at the end of his speech.
