Pakistan's President Farooq Ahmed Leghari resigned Tuesday (02/12), giving way to Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif as the country's political turmoil deepened. Leghari told a press conference he was giving up to uphold the supremacy of the constitution and rule of law. His five year

Outgoing president Farooq Ahmed Leghari walks into press conference, sits at table;
SOT President Farooq Ahmed Leghari, in English, saying: "The President of Pakistan, under the constitution of Pakistan has no option but to sign that kind of summary. I can delay it for a few days maybe, but I have to sign it. I have no option. I will not exercise that option because I hold certain principles and I hold the constiution above self-interest and therefore I have decided to resign from the office of the President of Pakistan. Soon after this press conference I shall go down to my office and I shall submit my resignation as enjoined by law. I would like to repeat that when I took office as President of Pakistan
I pledged to protect and defend and uphold the constitution of Pakistan and today I leave that office in defence of that oath and to uphold the consitution of Pakistan. (JUMPCUT) If the Supreme Court Bar Association and other bar associations could be helpful in getting an agreement yesterday, why could not the same have been done earlier? I maintain that it could have been done. If I wanted to conspire against him I would have let him go on, mistake after mistake after mistake, and at the end of it pull the rug from under his feet. But I've never been a conspirator and I take exception to this charge. Because my
whole record has been to the country, my whole record has been an open book and I'm proud of it."
Leghari walks down corridor surrounded by media,

President of Pakistan could have spoken in Urdu & resigned in Urdu in good spirit.
It was a message for the whole word. The message is very important not the language.

Traitor had to face the fruit of treachery
Musharraf Ayub Zia yahya iskandar bajwa raheel sharif pervez kiyani these people are traitors
Ye educated president thy or ab k President non educated ha jinhy sirf chup kr k betna hta ha farooq laagri ny apny right ka sahi istammal kia
us time Presidents k paas boht power hoti thi. 90s aur 80s main. woh wazir e azam ki kargirdgi pe nazar rakhte the kargirdgi pasand na aye tou woh pm ko bhi ghar bhej dete the
2010 main 18 aini tarmeem ki wajha se president ka role bus alamti reh gya ab bus woh qanoon ki manzoori deta hai jab PM kehta hai warna president chup hi rehta hai
And that power was absolutely WRONG.
Great President
