President, PM should resign: Shah Mehmood Qureshi |
2011-05-08 |
[Dawn] Pakistain's former foreign minister called on the country's president and prime minister to resign on Saturday, following the American raid that killed the late Osama bin Laden, ... who no longer exists... one of the highest-profile calls so far for bigwigs to be held accountable. Some Paks have focused their anger on the country's powerful army and intelligence chiefs. But former Foreign Minister Shah ![]() WormtongueQureshi said President Asif Ali President Ten PercentZardari and Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani are the ones who should be held responsible. "This is a great violation of our illusory sovereignty, but this is for the president and prime minister to resign and no one else," said Qureshi in press briefing. Qureshi is now a politician for the ruling Pakistain People's Party. He has said he was pushed out of his position as foreign minister in February after he clashed with party officials over the case of Raymond Allen Davis, a CIA contractor who shot and killed two Paks in the central city of Lahore, apparently in self-defense. Qureshi insisted Davis did not enjoy blanket diplomatic immunity, but he was ultimately released after the families of the victims were compensated. |
