Pakistan's Weak President Zardari Desperate For
Reconciliation
Pakistan News Updates
23 March 2009
Asif Ali Zardari, Pakistan's
president, has called for national reconciliation
among the country's political parties following the
recent restoration of the nation's top judges.
In an address marking Pakistan Day on Monday, Zardari
said his government's decision to restore the judges
could mark the end of a cycle of dictatorship.
The rule of law and constitutionalism have at times
been "trampled by dictators", Zardari said.
But he said the restoration of Iftikhar Mohammed
Chaudhry and other top judges had raised people's
expectation that the cycle was ending.
"On this day I urge everyone to work in the spirit of
tolerance, mutual accommodation and respect for
dissent and invite everyone to participate in the
national effort for ... reconciliation and healing the
wounds," Zardari said.
Chaudhry was removed in 2007 by Pervez Musharraf, the
former president, after he began examining cases that
could have threatened Musharraf's legitimacy as he
sought a new term in office.
Zardari agreed last week to reinstate the chief
justice, after activist lawyers and opposition
supporters began a march toward Islamabad, the
capital, where they planned to stage an indefinite
sit-in at parliament.
Zardari had repeatedly stalled over the issue,
apparently due to fears that Chaudhry would examine a
deal that granted him immunity from prosecution over
corruption claims.
