Zardari arrives at Nine Zero

The Co-chairman of the Pakistan People’s Party Mr. Asif Ali Zardari arrived at Nine Zero after talking to Mr. Altaf Hussain the leader of MQM. Mr. was warmly welcomed at Nine Zero by the workers of MQM.
Both the parties have a bitter past and hence this move is viewed as very significant by the people. A workable alliance between the People’s Party and the MQM can bring peace and stability in the province of Sindh and its capital Karachi. The people’s party belongs to the rural areas of the province whereas the MQM is mainly concentrated in the urban areas. If the PPP and the MQM move forward this would bridge the rural urban divide in the province.
I have best wishes for the two parties and hope that they foil all conspiracies and bring peace and prosperity for the people whom they seek to represent.

The Chief of Army Staff General Ashfaque Pervez Kayani has given a briefing to the political leadership of the country about the army operation in the Northern Areas of the country. He briefed about the number of troops stationed in various parts of the country and the steps being taken by the Army to fight against terrorism.
Surprisingly this briefing took place in the Prime Minister’s house whereas earlier such briefings used to take place in the Army Headquarters. The General was accompanied by his Director General of Military Operations who has been responsible for the Army operation in the Sawat area.
I think that the political leadership must consolidate power before asserting its authority. The calling of the Army chief in the PM house for a briefing may not go down well with the Army who has a flare for power and considers itself above all institutions in the country.
