Govt rebuffs rumours of Zardari''s resignation, army chief eyeing presidency
[GEO.TV] The federal government on Thursday categorically rebuked speculations related to President Asif Ali Ten Percent Zardari

...former president of Pakistain, husband of the late Benazir Bhutto, who has been singularly lacking in curiosity about who done her in...
's resignation and the claims that Field Marshal Asim Munir was "aspiring to assume the presidency".

"We are fully aware of who is behind the malicious campaign targeting President Asif Ali Zardari, Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif
...Pak dynastic politician, brother of PM Nawaz Sharif, chief minister of Punjab...
, and the Chief of Army Staff," Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi said in a statement on his X handle on Thursday.

"I have categorically stated that there has been no discussion, nor does any such idea exist, about the President being asked to resign or the COAS aspiring to assume the presidency," he added.

Naqvi said President Zardari enjoys a strong and respectful relationship with the leadership of the armed forces. He quoted the president as saying: "I know who is spreading these falsehoods, why they are doing so, and who stands to benefit from this propaganda".

"To those involved in this narrative, do whatever you wish in collaboration with hostile foreign agencies. As for us, we will do whatever is necessary to make Pakistain strong again, InshAllah," the minister added, stressing that the sole focus of the COAS was on the strength and stability of Pakistain and nothing else.

The security czar's clarification comes amid rumours which began circulating after the ruling Pakistain Moslem League-Nawaz (PML-N) obtained a simple majority in the National Assembly after the reinstatement of reserved seats by the Election Commission of Pakistain following the top court's Constitutional Bench verdict. # id) ?>
