US dismisses coup rumors in Pakistan

United States Wednesday wished Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari well after aides said he suffered a heart attack and dismissed rumors that the civilian leader was being pushed out.

“We have seen the reports. We certainly wish him a speedy recovery,” said White House spokesman Jay Carney.

Zardari’s illness sparked media reports that he is contemplating resignation, but loyalists ruled out the idea he may step down.

State Department spokesman Mark Toner, asked if the United States was worried that a quiet coup was underway against the embattled president, said:

“No concerns and no reason to believe” the speculation.

“Our belief is that it’s completely health-related,” Toner told reporters.

If the President is messing with army then they have the every right to coup. Only Army is saving the country right now and has accepted the fact that U.S is one of their enemies. I would like to see them come and announce new fair and free elections.
 
how you guys support coup??its strange..every general has created blunder but still licking them:what:

Well so far in Pakistan's history, there has not been a single civilian in the government that has done anything significant. The country is running and protected only cuz of army. Naturally they learn proper manners/ proper discipline in there career.
 
civil govt takes time and fyi,your army still holding foreign policy of pakistan.

Well I'm not saying they should come and run Pakistan because the current century is not like this way. They should rather coup to kick the current government first then announce fair and free elections. Sort of like what Ayub Khan did.

Army currently has to take action on foreign policy because we don't want another OBL raid style. Simmilar to this type will lead to unprotection of Nuclear. We are an independent country and army wants exactly that.

The thought of the Pakistan Army being under the civilian government (Zardari) gives me the goosebumps..:fie:

Goodbye Pakistan. It was nice knowing you.

I'm not a big fan of Imran khan but right now he is the one that can at least do some betterment to this country. The great thing about him is that he is not after money and his wants to increase tax. No corruption form his party and the imposition of a high tax on people will lead to a better economy. But the problem with him is that his policies are not exactly what people are looking for. i.e he sidelines Kashmir issue. The army is making the right move. If they don't act for better then I'm afraid this country will become like Ethopia pretty soon. While he has backing with the army, we cannot say he will come to power only cuz of that. Reality is, he has supporters from people every where. Some people need to use logic. citizens and army are two different groups.
 
Why does the army always have to get in to solve your problems, in democracy its the people who need to bring in the change and when that happens even your gen will do what they are intended to do safeguard the land.
