Need to walk the talk

IT was good to hear Mr Asif Ali Zardari reiterate on Saturday, while addressing partymen and wellwishers on having been elected President of the country, that Parliament was sovereign and the President subservient to it. That should put to rest any doubt about the possibility of his retaining the notorious Article 58(2b) and any other amendments in the basic document that have lent it an undemocratic colour. One expects that the President-elect's first priority would be to have such provisions removed.
