LONDON, Nov 4 (Reuters) - Former Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif called on President Pervez Musharraf on Sunday to step down following his imposition of emergency rule.

Asked what Musharraf should do now, Sharif told Sky News: "Step down, because he is part of the problem ... The more he prolongs his misrule, Pakistan will be moving towards anarchy."

Sharif, speaking by telephone from Saudi Arabia, said he had every intention of going back to Pakistan.
