Fatima hails move to reduce Zardari powers

Hailing moves in Pakistan that may lead to reduction in the power of President Asif Ali Zardari, Fatima Bhutto, niece of slain former prime minister Benazir Bhutto, said there should not be two different laws for the powerful and the common citizens.

"We are yet to see the law passed. It is important that now we are talking about it but in the first place I don't think or believe that Presidents or those in power should be be granted immunity.

"There should not be a law for the powerful and a law for the ordinary citizens. In fact those in power should be scrutinised even more closely and more severely than ordinary citizens," Fatima, who is here for the launch of her book 'Songs of Blood and Sword' said.
