Islamabad: Pakistan
President Asif Ali Zardari arrived in the port city of Karachi
late Sunday night having spent two weeks in Dubai for medical
treatment, the Geo News reported.
He will resume his political activities from today, the report
added.
The president, who was accompanied by his daughter Asifa, arrived
in a special plane that landed at PAF base Masror, the largest
airbase of Pakistan Air Force (PAF). The plane landed two minutes
late.
President Zardari's medical team has declared him completely fit,
allowing him to resume his official duties.
Prior to his visit, security was already beefed up from airport to
Bilawal House in anticipation of the president's arrival.
According to Bilawal House spokesman, the president is completely
fit and would resume political activities from today and meet
party leaders.
He would leave for Islamabad after spending some days in Karachi,
the spokesman added.
Zardari will also address on the occasion of death anniversary of
former prime minister and his wife Benazir Bhutto in Larkana city
of Sindh province Dec 27.
There had been a lot of confusion over Zardari's health.
Initial reports had said that he had flown out of Pakistan over a
heart ailment. While Pakistan Army doctors had declared him fit, a
US based magazine said he had suffered a minor heart attack.
Later, some media reports said he had suffered a stroke that
caused bleeding in the brain and facial paralysis. There were also
rumours of a military coup.
