No link between Zardari's departure and Memogate: Khosa

Khosa says Zardari had gone to Dubai for the medical checkup because of security threats.

LAHORE:
Governor of Punjab Sardar Latif Khan Khosa said on Thursday that there was no link between President Asif Ali Zardari’s departure to Dubai and the Memogate scandal, and demanded that the rumors be stopped as the country could not face any political unrest.

Khosa was speaking to the media at the foundation stone-laying ceremony of a hospital for the lawyer community at the Aiwan-e-Adal.

The governor said that the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) government will complete its term and the next general elections would be held on time.

Khosa said Mansoor Ijaz was “the biggest conspirator” and added that the president will foil the efforts of those who were orchestrating conspiracies against him.

He said that Zardari will return to the country in a few days. Khosa said that he had gone to Dubai for the medical checkup because of security threats, which had also barred him from seeing his father Hakim Ali Zardari when he was admitted at PIMS in Islamabad.

The governor said that Zardari had face 11 years of suffering and was now ready to face the “fake” memogate issue.

‘Zardari will not tender resignation at any cost’

Speaking to the media earlier, Pakistan Muslim League – Quaid (PML-Q) President Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain had said that Zardari will not tender his resignation at any cost and will complete his five year term.

He said that all political parties will contest their elections on their party manifesto and their candidates will participate separately.


Shujaat added that Like-minded members were moving to join other political parties and PML-Q members were sticking with the parent party.
