A Promised Land By Barack Obama || "The Most Difficult Phone Call"

Former US President Barack Obama has written in his new book, A Promised Land, that after the death of former al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden in a naval operation in the Pakistani city of Abbottabad, he thought it was the most difficult phone call. It will happen to Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari because after this incident he will be under pressure from all over the country that Pakistan's integrity has been mocked.

I was expecting it to be a very difficult call, but when I contacted him, it was not at all

Whatever the reaction, it's good news

Obama writes that President Asif Ali Zardari was clearly emotional on the phone call and mentioned his wife, Benazir Bhutto, who had been "killed by al-Qaeda-linked militants."

Ordered the arrest of the Pakistani prime minister for corruption case


Pakistan's Supreme Court today ordered the arrest of the prime minister, Raja Pervez Ashraf, in relation to a corruption caseregistered at the stage where it was energy minister, sources with the court. Cited by local media, the sources said that the arrest warrant also affects other 15 people , who must be brought to the Supreme Court within 24 hours. The current prime minister was responsible for energy and water between early 2008 and 2011, during which he blamed irregularities in the failure of an initiative to reduce energy shortages by renting private power plants. The project, involving foreign private companies, cost billions of dollars of public funds but hardly helped alleviate electricity shortages suffering endemic Asian country. Ashraf came to be named by local media as "rents Rajah", and the shadow of the open trial planned in June on his appointment as replacement forYusuf Raza Gilani , former Prime Minister. Gilani was disbarred by the Supreme Court after being convicted of contempt in another corruption case, which in this case meant the country's president, Asif Ali Zardari. The news of the arrest warrant of the prime minister dropped a political bombshell in Islamabad, whose center is taken by thousands of supporters of reformist cleric Tahirul Qadri , who in a speech today lashed out against political corruption in Pakistan.

One minute detention for Pakistan Premier

Supreme Court of Pakistan Prime Minister Yusuf Raza Gilani condemned for contempt of Justice for a symbolic, immediate arrest. He had thwarted investigations against President Asif Ali Zardari. it was the lowest penalty that could be imposed: Pakistan's Supreme Court sentenced on Thursday Prime Minister Yusuf Raza Gilani for "contempt of court" for a symbolic, immediate arrest - he was with the continuation of the process less than a minute settled later . Had threatened up to six months imprisonment. The background is the refusal of the Prime Minister to follow an order of the court and Switzerland to request the resumption of corruption investigations against President Asif Ali Zardari. This was not because of the immunity of heads of state possible, Gilani had argued.The consequences of the judgment are not clear, especially since the court has set out on new legal territory. Some commentators said that Gilani would lose his position as prime minister because he had acted against the "integrity and independence of the judiciary," as stated in the Constitution. Likely that Gilani is strengthened resulting from the confrontation. He can not be intimidated by the judges and defended his position. He recognized her bluff, which is ultimately supported by the purely symbolic punishment. The guilty verdict was the culmination of a power struggle between the institutions. The confrontation between the government and the judiciary has opened in 2009, the Chief Justice Iftikhar Chaudhry, as he had picked up an amnesty, under which President Zardari was his escape corruption charges. A few months ago, the conflict between the government and army have increased sharply, which is not uncommon in Pakistan. Pakistan's military, which has directly controlled the country since the founding of the state in 1947, more than half the time acts, even at times in which an elected government in Islamabad formally in power, de facto parallel government for foreign policy and security issues.
