When I heard Zardari had flown out of the country in an air-ambulance to Dubai in a rush, I decided to call a friend close to the political big-wigs in Islamabad. I was told that the President’s “Pace-Maker” had developed problems and that his situation was indeed “critical”.

I was also informed that his children, those who weren’t in UAE, were also asked to reach the country.

That said, our media is abuzz with rumour that the President may resign on ill-health grounds, which is a perfect exit-strategy for a scandal-hit President who has weathered out extreme pressures over the past 4 years but this time, it all seems to be melting down for him as charges of treason are thrown at him.

Some quarters believe the President will not return to Pakistan after calls for a joint-session of parliament on the memo-gate issue were shunned by opposition parties and the military leadership.

He may be genuinely ill, however, let us all pray for the safety and well being of Pakistan.
