The United States has urged Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf to sever his links with the military and reinstate civilian rule, CNN reported.
"Our hope is that he will restore democracy as quickly as possible," US President George W. Bush said Monday after a White House meeting with Turkey's prime minister.
Musharraf's government will discuss a timetable for parliamentary elections Tuesday, Pakistan Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz said in a report from The Associated Press.
Musharraf suspended the constitution last Saturday ahead of a Supreme Court ruling on whether his recent re-election as president was legal.
Bush urged Musharraf to hold parliamentary elections as originally scheduled in January. But there did not appear to be a unified position among senior government officials on when the vote should be held.
Pakistan's attorney general said it would take place as scheduled, but then conceded there was a chance of delay.
