| Pakistan plot to overthrow government, says PM Gilani |
| 2011-12-22 |
| Pakistani Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani has said that conspirators are plotting to bring down his government. Outstanding analysis there, Einstein. When have conspirators not been plotting to bring down a Pak government? He also declared that the military has to be accountable to parliament and that no institution can be a state within a state. I dunno, youse guys and Lebanon seem to be pulling it off pretty well... His government is struggling with a memo scandal that has forced the resignation of the Pakistani ambassador to the US and threatens the president. The leaked memo allegedly asked for US help to prevent a military takeover. That would be embarrassing... Pakistan's President, Asif Ali His illness and the scandal surrounding the memo have led to speculation that he might be forced out of office. Beats getting killed. Ask his wife... Pakistan's supreme court has opened a hearing into the memo and demanded a reply from the president. Tensions are high between the civilian government, which has ruled since elections in February 2008, and Pakistan's powerful military and intelligence services, after US forces killed Osama Bin Laden in Abbottabad in May. Mr Gilani also referred to the controversy over the late al-Qaeda leader, querying how he had managed to get into Pakistan and live there for six years apparently undetected. With a military escort, of course... |
