Zardari says he'll 'foil all conspiracies' against him with his 'political weapons' | Labelling the elected assemblies as his 'political weapons,' Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari has said that he would 'foil all conspiracies' through his weaponry. "We are politicians, and will solve all the problems in a political manner," the Daily Times quoted
Zardari, as saying. In an interview with BBC Urdu, Zardari said he believed in
the supremacy of the masses, as both houses of parliament and the four provincial
assemblies were the "true forums of their power". Pointing out that he was a constitutionally
elected president, Zardari blamed "some circles" for employing unconstitutional
methods to remove him from the Presidency. Zardari's comments coincide with the
Balochistan Assembly passing a confidence motion, while the Sindh Assembly has
already approved a similar resolution. Close presidential aides have revealed
that the NWFP Assembly would soon follow course. Zardari has called separate sessions
of the Senate and National Assembly on January 11. While Zardari has been warning
that democracy is in danger, he insists that he can deal with "such conspiracies".
Most political analysts are viewing these comments as a reference to the army
or the establishment. But presidential spokesman Farhatullah Babar said that Zardari
has been referring to "anti-Bhutto elements". |
