President Zardari fit, resuming duties next week: Shamsul Hassan
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.
Rehman Malik meets Zardari in Dubai
Interior Minister Rehman Malik met President Asif Ali Zardari in Dubai and briefed him about the current security situation in Pakistan, Express News reported.
President Zardari advised Malik to assist the Pakistani nationals residing in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), regarding their national identity cards and passports.
The president also had a telephonic conversation with Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani about the current political situation in Pakistan.
Earlier on Wednesday, the president was discharged from the hospital and moved to his residence in Dubai.
His physician had confirmed that all medical investigations carried out were within the normal range.
The 56-year-old head of state had left Pakistan for treatment after falling ill in the midst of a major scandal over alleged attempts by a close aide to seek US help to limit the power of Pakistan’s military.

lov to see & hear th8 he recovers !!!!!!!!!!!
The law,internationally recognized is that no paper without signature is not acceptable as a documentary evidence.
A notable person from the United States, on the request of Asma jilani learned counsel and former president of the Supreme Court Bar Association,contesting the Memo case of Hussain Huqqni,has sent affidavit clearing some segments of the case,received by her,in which he described Mansoor Ijaj not dependable ..
With reference the meeting between army chief and the prime minister, matter is not so serious as understood,speculations,predictions and rumors has defaced the reality. Some elements want to derail the democratic system,they are hatching conspiracy for particular designs ,but their success looks impossible.
There are no chances of impeachment, he will return after some days. as for as Memo is concerned,a constitutional question before the legal experts that whether he has immunity in this connection reply would have submitted in the apex court. According to my considered opinion,it is the duty of the prime minister to deal with all matters attributed to the federal government. What would be the observation or ruling on this,it is the jurisdiction of the Apex court.
It is an admitted fact, he was ill and admitted in Dubai hospital. Disease is not new it is an old one,president already have been there. But here are many experts have longstanding experience in making false stories knowledge less predictions,speculations.Their success looks very hard.They would fell down
What happened with our leadership,all are dancing on a piece of paper.
This Ambassador did not even come to Pakistan for the major meeting on Foreign policy review. He is not the spokesperson of the President.Even Sindh CM had about 7 days back said President Zardari will return in 2-3 days..but he did not. Unlikely that President Zardari will return this year.....................
Good if he is fit. I thought you said "he has fits". After all perception beats reality.
Great news for army and isi
Certainly happy to see Mr. Zardari recover. BUT don't know about the duties part...when did he deliver on those anyways?
@John: We may not have healthcare but we do have hundreds of nuclear warheads! Let us close the few public hospitals we have and increase the funding for war toys. Regards, Mirza
Hes recovered!... Great news for his kids. Hope he has a swift health recovery so he can lead his country once again and return to his beloved nation. There are alot of heart patients dying in pakistan who unfortunately cant afford to pay for treatments in world class hospitals. I hope he instructs his health minister to develop a nice big hospital for heart patients, by donating from his own land! Im lucking forward to this lol btw does pakistan even have a health minister??
Around 30 presidency staffers are with him besides ADC, doctors etc. Shear waste of taxpayers money.
The smart money is on him, trying to run parallel Presidency from Dubai, as he seems to have his whole team there now !!!!
Yes! he must answer to the Supreme Court in the Memogate and let the world know his side of the story. Respect for the law Mr. Zardari. Salams to Pakistan
And why are you away from Pakistan, Mr Ambassador? Whats your excuse?
He will NOT return soon..
mark my words..Zardari is not coming back!
Hopefully Zardari would - with a change of heart - emerge stronger!
Yes good to hear that he has recovered !! Can he now please send a reply to SC in little matter regarding the Memogate ?? As no doubt , there are too many people, who are interested as to what the president has to say in regards to the matter !!!!
Zardari will rise and shine
Very good news.
