Party wants Zardari in Presidency

Published: August 21, 2008

ISLAMABAD - Most of the Parliamentarians belonging to the Pakistan People's Party want to see the party Co-Chairman Asif Ali Zardari in the office of President of Pakistan and vociferously put forth their demand at the dinner meeting at Zardari House on Wednesday.
PPP Co-Chairman Asif Ali Zardari hosted the dinner for party MPs and the function turned into a sort of parliamentary party meeting as almost all the MNAs and Senators of the party were in attendance and all of them were of the view that Senator Asif Ali Zardari was the most suitable person for the slot of President.
When the pressure from the MPs increased, Zardari said that the matter would be discussed in the Central Working Committee meeting of the party scheduled for Friday (tomorrow).
Party Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari’s presence gave a rejuvenated spirit to the meeting as most of the MPs “saw the reflection of their assassinated life chairperson Ms Benazir Bhutto in him”.
In a similar fashion, the four Ps President Makhdoom Amin Fahim was conspicuous by his absence though he was in the federal capital but did not turn up on the dinner hosted in honour of MPs by no other then the party Co-Chairman.
