Zardari leaves for Dubai for a day: spokesman
13 January, 2012
Islamabad: President Asif Ali Zardari Thursday left for Dubai on a private visit for medical checkup amidst the government's tension with the superior judiciary and the powerful military. Presidential Spokesman Farhatullah Babar said the President Zardari will come back to Pakistan in 24 hours. President Zardari left the country as a time when the country faces political crisis over an alleged memo sent to the former American Army Chief Mike Mullen to seek U.S. help to stave off a military coup after the death of Osama bin laden in May last year. The country had plunged into rumours when President left for Dubai last month due to his health condition. There had been rumours President may resign but he returned after a week treatment in a Dubai hospital. The President again left for Dubai at a time when the country faces uncertainty due to the increased tension between the Government, Judiciary and the army. The Supreme Courts' judges complain that the government is not implementing most of its verdicts. The situation aggravated further when on Tuesday the Supreme Court warned the Prime Minister of loosing his parliamentary seat if he failed to re-open graft cases against President Zardari. End.
