After the horrendous assassination of chairperson of the Pakistan People’s Party, the country was teetering at the brink, and it was at that time that the now President Zardari raised the slogans of “Pakistan Khapay”, and it did lots of healing, especially in the Sindh. Not only Zardari has shown acumen and lots of sagacity in dealing with the redoubtable challenges faced by the country, he has also done at the most difficult juncture of the history. Leading Pakistan in these tough times is the world’s most unwanted job and that is what is done by Zardari. Even the opposition in Pakistan is not ready to face the music and they are happy with the current arrangements as they don’t have to take the brunt. They are not even joining the cabinet and they are just enjoying the roost in one province. Asif Zardari is moving running country sophisticatedly. Pakistan is fighting militancy and on other front we have internal issues. so it is hard to wash out all the mess of previous regime. So well done Zardari……..!!!!!!!!!
