Zardari has mired PM’s office

Taking a strong exception to Pakistan People’s Party leader Raja Pervez Ashraf’s election as prime minister, Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz leader Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan on Friday said President Asif Ali Zardari had mired the office of the country’s chief executive. The NA opposition leader said Raja’s election was a major blow to the democratic process in Pakistan. He warned that surrendering to President Zardari’s autocratic decisions would wipe out democratic values soon.
