Dubai, Islamabad: Speculation about Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari’s future continued to run rife on Thursday despite the US assertion that “a silent military coup” against him was unlikely. Zardari, 56, was still under treatment Thursday in a Dubai hospital for a heart condition amid reports that he was stable and may return home over the weekend. That, however, did little to dampen rumours and speculation that he had suddenly left Pakistan under some kind of safe passage deal, fearing a coup by the military which is said to be upset with him over a number of issues, the latest being a secret memo handed to Obama administration. Presidential spokesman Farhatullah Babar said Thursday that Zardari’s condition is stable and he will undergo some more tests in Dubai. “The President is stable, comfortable and is resting. Initial tests and investigations have been within normal range while further tests will be carried out,” Babar said in a text message to journalists.Read Full; Speculation on Zardari’s future continues despite US assertion - Indian Express
