Asif Zardari - Playboy To President
Asif Ali Zardari, the son of Pakistani politician Hakim Ali Zardari, was born on 21 July 1956. He grew up in Karachi and had a privileged childhood, attending St Patrick’s High School, the same school former Pakistani president Pervez Musharraf attended. He later enrolled himself at the London School of Economics.
Zardari married Benazir Bhutto on Dec 18, 1987, which was arranged by their families. Zardari had met Bhutto only five days before the wedding, though negotiations had started taking place almost six months ago. Before his marriage, he was known as a polo-playing playboy who owned a private disco in his own house.
However, after tying the knot, Zardari’s personality was largely overshadowed by the political figure of Bhutto.
Zardari first found himself embroiled in trouble when an attempted-murder and extortion case was filed against him in 1990. He faced charges of strapping a remote-controlled bomb to the leg of Pakistani-born British businessman, Murtaza Hussain Bukhari, sending him to the bank to withdraw US$800,000. Zardari was later sent to jail where he stayed until his wife’s party won the election in 1993. He was made a finance minister upon his release from prison.
The couple then built a $50 million ‘prime minister’s residence’ on 110 acres on an Islamabad hilltop. Zardari also acquired the 365-acre, $8 million Rockwood Estate in Surrey, England, and a $4 million estate in Palm Beach County, Florida.
In 1996, he was arrested under the Maintenance of Public Order Ordinance. He found himself charged with the murder of Mir Murtaza Bhutto, his wife’s brother. After the fall of Bhutto’s government in the same year, Zardari, along with Bhutto, was charged and convicted in a kickbacks scam involving a Swiss company, SGS. Zardari was imprisoned. However, Bhutto stayed out of country.
Zardari was in prison until 2004. He was released after his wife’s PPP negotiated a deal with former Pakistani president Pervez Musharraf’s government. Zardari then moved to Manhattan’s wealthy Upper East Side, where he lived for three years, before returning to Pakistan after his wife’s assassination. (ANN/ AsiaNews)

LSE is The “London School of Economics and Political Science” not business anyway…
Asif Ali was born on 26 July 1956 at Nawabshah. He completed his graduation from Cadet College Petaro, Dadu and studied Business & Economics from Pedinton School, London.http://www.cssforum.com.pk/general/discussion/19683-mr-asif-zardari-graduate.html
“While there he attended the London School of Business Studies and received a Bachelor of Education degree. His official biography says he attended a commercial college called Pedinton School. But a search of tertiary educational institutions in London showed no such school, and associates said he did not finish his studies,” said the NYT report.
It quoted Zardari as saying: “I do have a degree. That is not an issue. I attended the London School of Business Studies much before I was married. I think it’s a B Ed degree. I haven’t really looked at it.”
It further said: “The question of whether Zardari has a university degree is relevant because President Pervez Musharraf introduced a law in 2002 that made it compulsory for parliamentary candidates to hold a degree in order to qualify for electoral office.”

International criminal Zardari took the picture of Benazir while addressing the UN. Why he didnt take the picture with him to see Palin?

i wonder how such a polished, cultured and educated woman like Benazir Bhutto accepted a man like him as her husband.

I dont know why we always belame politicians for all the things. After all we are the ones who vote them to power and support them. I am not a supporter of Zardari and neither of Musharraf. But i know only one thing if we want to get the right leader then first we have to be honest and good to Islam first and then to Pakistan. As our Beloved Prophet(S.A.W) said: That you get your leader as you are. And this not vice-versa. If we are good then our leader will automatically good and the if we are as we are now then we are all facing the consequnces of our own acts. May Allah give us the sight and show us the right path.

i am so sorry to say that you people know nothin about politics. Army and politics are totally different sections but what ex president musharaf did was totally unfair you can support a genral as a ruler of the country.IF you talk about asif ali zardari i was also against him but when i studied more about him i came to know he is not what people say its all a propoganda agaisnt him which was been created by nawaz sharif and later he also admitted that he did a mistake and afterall he is an elected president of pakistan not like musharaf who came without votes think your self do you think that democracy is better or dictatorship is?

i cant believe the stupidity of our nation by accepting this traitor and ignorant fool as our leader. leaders like Pervez Musharraf are born once in lifetime. we must support him whenever he returns to politics because Pakistan needs him desperately.

Well Mr. MUSHARAF is really nice president and obviously we need him, our bushtit media and political parties did not want that Pakistan will be survived ever and people taking awareness about right politics. The zardari is big suckers dog among them the jama-e-islami, nawaz shareef, PPP all shits.
The whole sole no one needs that URDU speaking appears at top because if we appears at top then this country will be grooming a lot, the right examples are mushraf and Mustafa kamal no drought Mustafa kamal is also a brilliant guy let come to the point, the Media specially GEO did the great role in negative publicity because in SADAR Karachi I was there when GEO conduct the interview and once I said I need to give a words in favor of Musharaf they said “Sorry today is not the day to speak any thing in favor of musharaf”. They are mafia musharaf did the right thing that fuck the media I think close the geo for ever they are suckers and always against the successful government.
All issues are still present even they increase 1) Bloshitan issue still present 2) Judges Issue still present 3) Load shedding issue still present
What new issues they arrive that economically we are going down, down and down the rupee stability is zero the investors business mans all are warp up from Pakistan.
What I think the mistake Mr. musharaf did that he leave the Bigger dog sucker self fucker Miyan nawaz shreef he just hang up at that time so no one creates an issue regarding to jamat they allow MQM to shoot them from top to bottom same like the Haqaqi party
2 or 3 day pplz says its wrong or write then every one will be busy in life what I think if he did this then we never see that shitty zardari face ever here in Pakistan as a president
In last as a Pure & Honstable Pakistan Karachi citizen I request you Mr. Musraf Please come back please come back we need you .. Pakistan needs you our nation needs you I need you our future generation needs the secure Pakistan
I hope and wish that you will be a next president again and get rid of this thurki zardari president
