Thousands call for Zardari to go
2011-10-29
More than 30,000 supporters of Pakistain's main opposition party erupted into the streets in a protest rally Friday, burning an effigy of President Asif Ali President Ten Percent Zardari
... sticky-fingered husband of the late Benazir Bhutto ...
and demanding that he quit.

The Pakistain Mohammedan League-N (PML-N) called the rally in Lahore to exploit talk of early elections in its political heartland, where it controls the Punjab provincial government despite being in opposition at national level.
What makes it hee-hee-larious is that Nawaz is just as corrupt as Zardari -- Tweedledee and Tweedledum...
Party faithful
aka "The Rubes"
denounced corruption and widespread power cuts, calling on the 56-year-old president, to step down before the government's five-year mandate expires in 2013.

Smaller rallies converged into a sea of people, packed left and right for up to two kilometres (one mile), which massed at one of the entrances to the old city of Lahore, witnesses said.

"Go Zardari, go corruption, go scheduled power outages," they chanted, in reference to the crippling power cuts that blight homes and businesses in much of Pakistain.
