| [DAWN] Punjab 1.) Little Orphan Annie's bodyguard 2.) A province of Pakistain ruled by one of the Sharif brothers 3.) A province of India. It is majority (60 percent) Sikh and Hindoo (37 percent), which means it has relatively few Moslem riots.... Governor Chaudhry Mohammad Sarwar resigned on Thursday, over what he said was a failure to achieve what he had set out to do. "I want to witness a democracy where a common man's son can get the same opportunities and rights as the elite in this country," Sarwar in a presser today, adding that he has resigned of his own volition and not under pressure. The moves comes days after he called out the federal government for failing to enter partnership with the United States government as he said India had done. At the presser Sarwar said, "We have no objection to Obama's India visit, says Sarwar, but Obama should have treated Pakistain equally and visited to express solidarity." The government accepted his resignation, with Punjab Assembly Speaker Rana Iqbal having taken over as acting governor Punjab. |
