Zardari decries violations of Pakistan sovereignty
Pakistan’s new president told Parliament today that the nation will not tolerate violations of its sovereignty by “any power” in the name of fighting terror, a clear signal to the US to avoid controversial cross-border strikes.
Asif Ali Zardari, the widower of slain ex-Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto, also asked Parliament to form a committee to consider reducing presidential powers enhanced under his predecessor, long-time US ally Pervez Musharraf.
