Sherry Rehman&#8217;s reasons of resignation include interferences from Rehman Malik and other higher ups close to President Zardari.

Chances of reinstatement of Iftikhar Chaudhry are at all time high and having two separate judicial institutions is equally likely. We may have something like two Chief Justices in parallel (hahaha!!). The President has [...]]]></description>

In fact, the PPP has already advanced in the PML zone and this act may just backfire with the unification of PML-N and PML-Q. Can this really [...]]]></description>
