Asif Ali Zardari

I have spent seven of the 12 years I have been married a victim of political persecution. I must be the first male spouse being held hostage by a regime. I accept this, as Pakistan has traditional elements who find it hard to reconcile with a man whose wife works and who other men salute perforce of her office. ”

I am looking forward and I am hoping that I will be the catalyst that makes India and Pakistan live for peace forever. ”

As a child, I was spoilt by my parents as an only son. They indulged my every whim, and I grew up in luxury. ”

I have done prison time for 13 years without any conviction. ”

On the international political landscape, there is better understanding of Pakistan's political economic and strategic issues. We aspire to promote peace and harmony with the region. ”

Anybody from my soil is my responsibility. ”
