Zardari believes 'move' on to dislodge him: Aide

“The objective behind the campaign, launched by different elements, political and others, is to target and malign one man to get him dislodged,” said Fauzia Wahab, Zardari’s aide and PPP spokeswoman.

“It was after our in-house, in-depth discussions, participated in by the president, that we reached a consensus that a premeditated move was underway to manage the exit of Zardari,” she told The News daily.

Over the past few days, several PPP leaders have issued statements that they would not accept any “minus one” formula regarding the civilian set-up.
