Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari became a victim of an accident in Dubai on Wednesday. According to Pakistani news website The Dawn, his foot slipped and he fell while getting off the plane at Dubai Airport. His leg bone is broken. The President’s Office of Pakistan confirmed this on Thursday. Zardari was immediately taken to the hospital after falling. Doctors put a plaster on his leg after examining his leg. This plaster will remain for four weeks. After the accident, President Zardari has been sent home and advised to take complete rest. In March last year, he underwent eye surgery in the UAE. 69-year-old Zardari has been struggling with many health problems in recent years. Earlier in 2022, he had to be hospitalized for a week due to chest infection. He was also admitted to the hospital after being corona positive this year. Asif Ali Zardari took over as the 14th President of Pakistan in February this year by defeating Imran Khan’s party candidate Mahmood Khan Achakzai. Zardari also became the President in the year 2008. He is the husband of Benazir Bhutto, the first woman Prime Minister of the country. Zardari is also called Mr. 10% in Pakistan. This is because he used to demand 10% commission in exchange for getting permission for any project or loan from the government during Benazir’s tenure as Prime Minister. Zardari was also arrested by the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) in a case of sending money out of Pakistan through a fake bank account. Asif Ali Zardari is the first President of Pakistan to complete his term. In 1988, the then dictator of Pakistan, General Zia-ul-Haq died in a plane crash. After this, Benazir’s party won the general elections and Bhutto became the first woman Prime Minister of the country. Zardari mostly stayed away from Benazir’s government. However, during this time, Zardari started facing allegations of scams in many cases related to the government. Pakistan’s former caretaker PM Ghulam Mustafa Jatoi had started investigations against Zardari for scams. After the fall of Benazir’s government, he was also banned from leaving the country. After this, Zardari was accused of many things like corruption, kidnapping, bank fraud and conspiracy to murder. He was kept in jail from 1997 to 2004. He got bail in November 2004. However, he was arrested again after not attending the hearing of the murder case. —————————- Read this news related to Pakistan….
