Giving a shock of their life to media critics and his political opponents who had created a stir across the country that he would not return to Pakistan on the pretext of his ill-health, President Asif Ali Zardari returned early on Monday to question the credibility of his detractors for speculating his political future amidst the memo controversy.
With the reports from Dubai that Zardari was ready to leave for Pakistan, the analysts who had suspected his return in their writings and talk shows once again attempted to twist the situation, but they had to eat dust as the president returned early on Monday – the day the Supreme Court is set to take up the memo case – telling his opponents that he would face all challenges and not run away. The president’s special flight PK-01 landed in Karachi at the Pakistan Air Force (PAF) Masroor base at 1:05am. Sindh Governor Ishratul Ebad Khan and Chief Minister Qaim Ali Shah received the president. Sindh Information Minister Shazia Marri said the president, despite his return, would get bed rest in accordance with the advice of his doctors. “The president’s return will shut the mouths of some people,” she added. Security was beefed up in the city, and large contingents of police, Rangers and the Frontier Constabulary (FC) were suddenly deployed on Karachi roads, including Shahrah-e-Faisal, in the late hours of Sunday. Sindh Home Minister Manzoor Wasan arrived at the Bilawal House to review security arrangements.

According to sources, Zardari would rest in Karachi for some days and then leave for Islamabad.
After being discharged from the hospital, the president kept a regular contact with Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani and his close aides, who had been telling the media that he was “OK” and would return soon.
Insiders say the meeting between the prime minister and Army Chief General Ashfaq Parvez Kayani last Friday was “very significant”, as misunderstandings were removed during the meeting with Zardari talking to Gilani and Kayani.
Senator Faisal Raza Abadi, a close aide of the president, told Pakistan Today on Sunday that the president would return any time after midnight. “Mark my words and also bring on record those who had been saying that the president would not return,” he said. Senior Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) leader and federal minister Khurshid Shah had said in a recent TV programme that the president would return before December 27. Similarly, on Sunday Gilani also said the president would return before the death anniversary of Benazir Bhutto (December 27).
However, his critics continued to suggest that Zardari would not return until the memo controversy was resolved. But some independent political analysts believed that while the memo issue was still wrapped in mystery, there was no threat to the president. They believed that Zardari would return to attend his wife’s death anniversary because his absence on the occasion would damage his party. The president had left Pakistan for a sudden health visit to Dubai on December 6. The conflicting official statements about his departure had, however, created confusions as a clear truth about his health was not told. The situation got clear when Zardari’s doctors at the American Hospital issued a certificate on December 13 and discharged him from the hospital the next day.
“All investigations were within normal range and he was kept under observation for a few more days and (he) is planned to be discharged on December 15 to rest at home as advised and to continue on his regular heart medications,” the certificate issued by the American Hospital said, adding that Zardari had been admitted to the hospital on December 6 with a complaint of numbness and twitching in the left arm, and a transient episode of loss of consciousness that lasted for a few seconds. Upon arrival at the hospital’s emergency room, the president was fully awake and conscious. Given the history of his heart disease, cardiac and neurological tests were carried out which included MRI of the brain, lumbar puncture, 2-D echocardiogram, carotid Doppler and a complete blood test.

    • As President of Pakistan, he cannot be issued Notice by any Court howsoever high. It is time that Chaudhry Court withdraws Notice issue to this brave man. And if the Court also tends apology for committing the mistake of issuing him the Notice, it will be only regaining a small part of its lost respect.

      • The destiny of Pakistan will be decided by the people of Pakisan,.not extension-seeking, surrendering, incompetent generals.

        • ITS NOT YOU ITS THE MONEY THAT HAS BEEN DISTRIBUTED ALL OVER THE MEDIA WHO IS TALKING . PEOPLE HAVE GIVEN JOBS TO WRITE EVERYWHERE OT MALIGN ARMY

          • No, it is the ISI that distributes money among journalists. And anyone who exposes them is termed anti-Pakistan.

          • No need to malign the Army. They are doing a job of maligning themselves!

            Surrendering cowards!

          • Army does not need to distribute money – they keep it in their own pocket.

            They have other ways to make it work. If you don't know about it ask 'Saleem Shazhad'. You got to be low life to deny it.

      • atleast better then those who destro islam in the hope of petro dollars
        who slaughter innocent humanbeings for their vicios dreams to come true
        atleast beter then those who kill 1000s in bomb attacks
        atleast beter then those who lie and pretend to be good muslims and actually are destroyers

        • LOL @SAMRA .. WHAT ARE THEY NOT DOING ? . THEY DID NOT EVEN SPARE HAJ JOURNEY SCARED TO ALL AND TOOK BRIBE IN THAT.

          HELLO ? WHO WAS SLAUGHTERING PEOPLE IN KHI .. TWO MONTHS BACK.. …….
          AND THERE WAS 9 DRONE ATTACK IN GENERAL'S TIME AND COUNTLESS IN SO CALLED DEMOCRACY.

    • You probably are right. Time for the generals to answer a few questions. But, who knows, they are still as cunning as ever in deceiving the entire population.

    • It is time for Pahsa to resign. And because he could not have gone to Gulf states without Kayani, the COAS also needs to follow suit. All residential plots, commercial plots and lands worth billions grabbed by the two must be returned.

  12. Brave Zardari has the courage to face all odds . Shameless opponents doob maro agar zara bhi ghairat hay.

    • Brave or not, he probably has turned the table on military now. Let's see what happens. Because SC does not look neutral at this point. And then there is Nawaz, who looks ready to do anything to bring the govt. down. And Imran and his disguise.

      I am not a supporter of Zardari though. My only concern is step 1 in democracy, in which people learn to reject behind the scene maneuvers in creating a representative government. Once that takes hold, step 2 would be shaping the government answerable to people for every act…

      Thus far Pakistanis never (in it's 60 plu years) got the simplest taste of what democracy is…

  14. there was a time when i was naive when i hated zardari
    now i love him
    may you live long you are very wellcome sir

  15. looks like his begging US for amnesty in USA diid'nt work..haahha…why else would anyone return to shithole of the earthh..??

  16. well well well! Brave Zardari ? .. hehe He is returning after talking to COAS, before that he was not planning to come back. Why he didnt talk to him before…!? Strange haan ..

    • It is time that COAS & DG ISI are fired. They are enemies of Pakistan and grave security risk. Their effort to get on board Gulf states to topple constitutional government tantamounts to high treason. They must be tried under Article 6. These khakis have always damaged the cause of Pakistan.

  17. Welcome Mr President. May Allah bless you with long and healthy life so that you keep on serving your country. Your country needs you. You are absolutely right when you say you are spiritual successor of the great Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto.
    As for your critics, they should feel ashamed. It would be appropriate if all your political opponents who tried to exploit your illness and self proclaimed analysts who proved themselves such an incompetent lot, appear together on live TV channels to tender their apologies.
    Muslims were beset by the plague of Mullahs who are not willing to lead prayers without payment. Now we have another curse in the shape of professional analysts and anchors who analyse not out of patriotism but for the money they get in return. Shame on them all.

  21. He is back only when General Gones has talked about MEMOGATE and told that it is written by Ijaz Mansoor. He has cleared stones from the way and then returned, he is really a dirty mind person. All who are praising him seems to be FOOL as they have been in past. Just believing what they see. Why you people dont try to understand whole story. AAAAAAWAKEEE UPP, when you people will behave like mature ones.

  22. Dear Mr President,Welcome home.While you enjoy your reconvalecense take a honest look at your and country,s health and perhaps attend the rally on the 25 th desember. I am sure you have had a cognitive test before discharge and passed,You have ?finger on the nuclear button. The prime minister has brought you closer to the COAS what ever that means. Were you apart before?A stroke is a stroke whether mini or major –it causes sadness. Please take a prolonged break and address the nation and open up.Put the ruomours to rest. the country desrves it. Good luck

    • Do you hold him the only person who should explain? How about throwing in the big K-P in the mix? Demonstrate that this was not a plot. On a smell test, that is how it looks to me.

  23. Now tie a bomb to his ankle and ask him to return all the ten percent and stop playing dramas. When he does that, put him on a plane and dump him back in Dubai with his Blwal and company.

  24. You have blackened the Grey history of this country which has fed you trillions so that when you leave the loads are stashed in your resting abode and they too rot and stink like you do!!
    should we thank MUSH or our star crossed country for the evil bestowed upon us which i am sure we never deserved.
