Zardari abruptly left Pakistan for Dubai Tuesday, triggering speculation about his health. There were also rumours of a coup, which the US scotched Thursday. The president suffered a mild stroke, causing internal bleeding in the brain and facial paralysis, the News International quoted sources as saying.
Sources added that though medical test reports were clear and he was out of danger as the stroke and internal bleeding were not life threatening, the president would need treatment, including speech therapy, to resume his normal life.
In a bid to douse rumours of a military coup, Zardari's office said his health is improving and he is resting at the Dubai hospital. The Aiwan-e-Sadr, the president's residence and principal workplace, issued a statement Thursday that he is in a stable condition.
Quoting the physician attending on Zardari in Dubai, the statement said: "The president is stable, comfortable and is resting." "Initial tests and investigations have been within normal range while further tests will be carried out," the brief statement said. However, a source quoted by the News International said Zardari had collapsed in the presidency Tuesday due to the stroke and may be taken to London for further treatment.
