Speaking to CNN-IBN, Hassan dismissed rumours of a military coup against Zardari. “Predictions and deadlines have fallen flat on their face,” he said.
Hassan said:
President Zardari is now recovering and once he gets a clearance by doctors he will resume his duties. After all he is a human being and can fall sick but unfortunately the media in Pakistan has been floating stories.
