Zardari deals....

If Zardari does not accept the new deal then:
* Army, foreign powers will be left with no option but to implement ‘minus-one formula’.
* Presidents office will be completely marginalised, Zardari will be removed.
* Gilani will take over as power will be restored to Prime Minister’s office.
* Nawaz Sharif's Pakistan Muslim League (Nawaz) will join the cabinet
* Deposed Supreme Court Chief Justice Iftikar Chaudhary will be reappointed.
Terms of the deal are as follows:
* Pakistan Prime Minister Gilani has been asked to convince Zardari to accept the new political and constitutional arrangement.
* The deal also states the removal of Punjab Governor Salman Taseer, who is an obstacle to good relations between the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) and the PML (Nawaz).
* Implementation of the new Constitutional package through the Parliament.
* The deal also demands the restoration of Supreme Court Justice Ifthikar Chaudhary.
Since Wednesday (March 11), there have been a series of meetings that have shaped this deal.
The Pakistan Army Chief met Prime Minister Gilani in Islamabad on March 11, where in the ninety minute meeting the former essentially told the latter to set the deal in motion. On Thursday (March 12), the US Ambassador to Pakistan Anne Patterson met the former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif. The reason ostensibly was after Sharif alleged that there was a plot to assassinate him.
