Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari has traveled to Dubai for medical treatment, sparking rumors in Pakistan that the embattled leader may resign. His trip fueled speculation that he had a heart attack, but a spokesman for Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani called those reports as "speculative, imaginary and untrue."
The president is undergoing routine tests related to a previously diagnosed heart condition, according to his spokeswoman. A statement from Zardari's physician said, "Investigations carried out so far are essentially within normal range and the president's condition is stable." |
