Plot to assassinate President Asif Ali Zardari uncovered

Oh man, now the president’s security expense would be quadrupled. He is saved but not us.Recommend

This is nothing new. All politically active members of Bhutto family and many PPP secular leaders have been assasinated. Not a single murderer has been caught and punished. In fact many of them including dictator Zia and Qadri have been praised by the right wing Muslims. Still some people would never understand who is pushing Pakistan to the extreme. Only secular leaders of secular parties are targeted for killing and military tout’s propaganda.Recommend

thunderstorms gaining strength in arabian sea to become a cyclone…could threaten Pakistan…this is more serious…Recommend

May Allah keep him and every Pakistani safe from blood thirsty animals called extremists.Recommend

Another plot to divert Pakistani from real issuesRecommend

Is that good news!Recommend

Mr Zardari is doing decent job in present circumstances ,, if any kind of terrorist plot got success against him it mean it will be storm for the whole nationRecommend

This should be done for the public also…they are also human beings…Recommend

@Mirza:
We already have more than enough “شہداء جمہوریت”.
If PPP can NOT investigate killing of Benazir then they better …Recommend

For those who have commented in the negative, let me remind you folks that the President / Prime Minister of a country are its symbol! We laugh at our cricketers and then wonder why other countries don’t take us seriously; we mock our politicians and then ask why the world is hell bent upon destroying us.

And weren’t it us who were saying (after the PNS Mehran incident) that when the symbol (the military in that case) is not safe, then how could we be safe.

So, in the same way, any attack – be it on Musharraf, Zardari, Nawaz or any sitting PM/President – is an attack on the highest symbol of your country! So, when you care for Pakistan by condemning the drones etc, do take these things seriously too!

Coz when you don’t take them seriously, no body will take us seriously!Recommend

If the enemy of Pakistan wants to hurt country they should be defending the President and not the other way. Not only these terrorists are fanatics but also stupidRecommend

Have patience folks. Imran Khan could have been our President today but for this efficiency on the part of our agencies! Now we have to wait for elections. Within 90 days of his taking charge, Pakistan will resemble the golden period of Khulafa-e-Rashideen.Recommend

Communist type of action is required to get rid from all these mindsets Days are not far when we will be called as a rogue nation on this planet earth. The other day in Karachi there was all praise for OBL by Mr. Munawar Hassan, leader of JI. All rallies must stop on M. A. Jinnah road. These knee jerk types of people must have mercy on ordinary citizens. One wonders why governments are afraid from these mental cases who have nothing else to do other than giving calls for wheel jams or close down strikes. Some are doing in pants and shirts and some with different turbans.Recommend

Another Bad NewsRecommend

@Guru: Thanks for trying to make some civic sense. We in Pakistan love backdoor politics. We believe that the country is owned by army and not its ordinary people. We have no concept and respect of constitution. We have no respect for the people’s opinion. We think that a democratically elected (with heavy mandate) PM/President has no right to live in a govt residence. If they occupy those residences, then they should not use them at all. Instead they should rent a cheap motel for everything person. Even for their personal or family affairs.

In the USA, the army officers are hired and fired at will of the elected President. Each important position whether SC judge, general or cabinet member is “appointed by president and confirmed by Senate” after an open discussion sometimes lasting weeks and more often rejected by the senate. In Pakistan army barats use C-130 plane, not just their official residences but army bases are used as wedding halls. Army bases are used to protect worst enemies of the civilized world.

However, the bitterness and criticism is directed only against democratically elected officials. While there are leaders who bow down in front of worst dictators, the PPP stood against them, hence it is the only national political party and in each election despite the right wing electoral alliance against it, they win general elections. This is a fact and not a fiction.

When President Clinton was involved in a sex scandal, some of his enemies were talking about him doing such acts in the Oval Office. They were mocked that it was his residence; he sleeps and showers there, should he rent a cheap motel? Too many hate mongers and enemies of democracy in Pakistan. The constitution should be supreme like a page from the holy book, but for some Pakistanis.Recommend

Hahahahaha. Playing the game Musharraf used to play to gain publicity and public sympathy.Recommend

“Intelligence officials have arrested eight men believed to have been involved in a plot to assassinate the President.”

if they (so called intelligence) even had an iota of intelligence, they would have overlooked the entire episode for pakistan’s betterment..

I am also glad the accused were referred to as “men” and not terrorists as that would be rather unfair given how they were acting on behalf of every pakistani…. no we are not a nation that condones murder, we are a nation who has been ignored.. left on its own…and opressed by its leader.. we want justice to be served.. we want zardari OUT!Recommend

@saleem:

Neither they are stupid nor fanatics. They are the paid killers trained by CIA and Those Rogue Indian Consulates along the Pakistan Afghan border whose only job is to disturb law & order in Pakistan. This is the reaction or let’s say regret and humiliation they had to suffer by the hands of Afghans.After all they have lost in Afghanistan. India’s future in Afghanistan is not going to be any different. History doesn’t lie.Recommend
