President Zardari admitted in Dubai hospital
Zardari had earlier left for the Emirati state to visit his children and undergo some medical tests. He was accompanied by his physicians and limited personal staff.
According to the President’s personal physician, Col Salman, the proposed medical tests were of routine nature and are linked to a previously diagnosed cardiovascular condition.
President’s spokesperson, Farhatullah Babar earlier in the evening had said that contrary to media reports the President did not visit any hospital on Tuesday for tests or treatment.
The President held separate meetings on Tuesday in Presidency with the Prime Minister, Chairman Senate and the Interior Minister to review overall situation, security arrangements for Ashura and legislative business in Senate before leaving for Dubai.
The President was seen off by some Members of Parliament and personal staff and his aircraft has already taken off, Farhatullah Babar said.
It is unclear whether at this stage whether the President would still address the parliament. The session had been set for immediately after Muharram Ashura proceedings which ended on Tuesday.

American Hospital in Dubai is the safest place to meet the American interlocutors. Asif Zardari will soon be back to Pakistan after resolving all his problems with the tacit help of Americans.
In words of a renowned jounalist: "It seems that humanity has taken leave of this country and there is no respect for human life. President Zardari is a democratically elected president; neither is he someone who came to power via the backdoor nor is he a military dictator. Dragging down the dignity of the office of the president just because some people do not like the individual at the helm of affairs is rather unfortunate."
remembering an old joke in which 4 college students bunked a quiz and next day made an excuse for a flat Tyre. Compensatory quiz for them contained only one question: Which Tyre?
It should be made mandatory for the president of Pakistan that his children study in pakistan's government schools and he and his family gets treated in pakistan's government hospitals.
In a way, it is good that he is being treated by doctors in Dubai. If he were at a Pakistani hopsital and, God forbids something serious happened, then PPP jeyallaas would be cursing Punjabi doctors forever..
Allah Pakistan ki mushkil asaan karey....Ameen
Perhapes a Pakistani Consultant physician licensed by PMDC, can decalre in all fairness and with professional integrity, that he has examined the patient and the treatment is not available in Pakistan.
Hope medical check up from own pocket
@Copper: 110 per cent agree with you. Peace to Pakistan and MURDABAD to the FEUDOCRATS (feudals and bureaucrats).
Arabs come to Pakistan for treatment of heart diseases while our president is going there.
fingers crossed for a one way trip
@ american desi, it is not due to feudal system. Trace the fault some where else.Our popular leadership including four Bhutos assassinated within the country.
On the other hand, Indian PM undergoes open nheart surgery in India.
People dying of hunger after floods and the guy who is elected and being paid for serving community is enjoying Personal Physician, Dubia Hospitals, Meetings in 7 stars hotels.
@Copper: Did you same the same thing when all the other Pakistani leaders and generals had check ups overseas? Where were you when the dictator Musharraf was getting a cardiac work up in the USA. The truth is that all Pakistani leaders from now on should be obliged to seek health care in Pakistan alone.
Finally God answers the nation's prayers
UAE Please keep him. We dont have doctors and hospital in Pakistan.
He is treating himself in Dubai because that is where his family lives. Sincerely wishes for our president to get well soon.
@Anon: if I am not wrong, it's well care hospital. Go get unleashed.
Sincere wishes to Get well soon We need you fit and fighting to come back to pakistan and face all the charges that are soon to come....
Which hospital is it here? I might need to give him a piece of my mind!
HOPE THIS IS A ONE WAY TRIP
I am impressed by the faith Office bearers have on Pakistan! Medical checkup - Dubai. Family and children - Dubai/ UAE Shopping - US/ Europe. Pakistan will never ever will improve unless feudal setup is taken down and land reforms initiated.
What would these people do for the country and its poor public when these filthy rich rullers wouldntt even want to get treated in the country they are rulling !! Just one word Shame and a lesson to the public who vote them and still come out dancing on there jalsas and election campaigns wonder when they ever gonna learn ??
What a shameful state that even President doesn't trust his country's hospitals!
Get well soon sire President !
