ISLAMABAD: The law ministry issued a new official government order under the name of former president Asif Ali Zardari, Express News reported Thursday.

Three presidential orders pertaining to the salaries of judges were issued on October 7 and were printed in the official gazette on October 9.

Two of the documents bore President Mamnoon Hussain’s name on them while the third had the former president’s name on it.

All three were issued and printed on the same dates creating the illusion that two presidents were in power at the same time.

This comes a month after Zardari stepped down as president on September 8 and was replaced by Mamnoon Hussain on September 9.
