Islamabad, Nov 17: Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari has met powerful army chief Gen Ashfaq Parvez Kayani for the second time in as many days, amid reports of tensions between the military and civilian government over secret communications with the Obama administration.
Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani too was present at the meeting between Zardari and Kayani at the presidency late last night.
Presidential spokesman Farhatullah Babar gave no details about the meeting beyond saying that the three leaders discussed the “current security situation in the country”.
However, the meeting assumes significance as it was the second one between Zardari and Kayani since Tuesday and was held in the wake of reported tensions between the military and PPP-led government over a secret memorandum purportedly sent by Zardari to the Obama administration seeking assistance in preventing a possible military takeover in May.
