Prime Minister Zafarullah Khan Jamali has resigned!
Pakistan’s Prime Minister Zafarullah Khan Jamali has tendered his resignation, reports say.
“He has resigned,” a senior official of the Pakistan Muslim League was quoted by Reuters news agency as saying.
In recent weeks there has been mounting speculation in the Pakistani press over the future of the prime minister.
Several newspapers predicted Mr Jamali could go as a result of a power struggle within the governing Pakistan Muslim League party. …

I wonder if it has anything to do with events in Wana.
The good thing is that he is the 1st PM in recent history who resigned and not kicked out… 
Nothing strange
yeh hummara Pakistan hai..
aisi to nah hum mashhoor hai:jhanda:
Wrong forum brrrrrrrrrr :-p
But he just said a few hours ago that no one asked him to resign nor he's going to resign :-s
Re: Prime Minister Zafarullah Khan Jamali has resigned!
Hmm… Technically he is kicked out by Musharraf. Musharraf dod not like Jamali. So he was fired. For public it sounds good, he resigned.
It’s like saying " He has decided to take other challenging responsibilities and is no longer with govt."

Jamali says he has not been asked to resign
By Our Staff Reporter
ISLAMABAD June 25: Prime minister Mir Zafarullah Khan Jamali has dismissed rumours about his resignation and said that he has neither tendered resignation nor has he been asked to do so and he is not preparing to resign from his post.
He was talking to a group of journalists at a reception here at the Prime Minister’s House on Friday.
The prime minister exuded confidence as he expressed displeasure over media reports in this regards and said that he had time and again clarified his position.
A good number of members of the coalition parliamentary group, including cabinet ministers and PML chief Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain, attended the dinner-reception but many others, including those belonging to the MQM, were not present.
He said: “Rest assured, the president has reassured me. I have no problems with the party and as such there is no truth in reports about an in-house change”.
He said: “I am perturbed about the repetition of these reports while my word as chief executive should have been sufficient to end the confusion and responsible people in newspapers should have taken notice.”
Prime Minister Jamali dismissed misgivings expressed by the MMA leadership about President Pervez Musharraf’s shedding of army uniform by Dec 31 and said that it was all in their minds.
Referring to the prospective expansion in federal cabinet, Prime Minister Jamali said he had discussed the list of probable candidates with the PML president, Chaudhry Shujat Hussain, and as soon as the list was finalized, new ministers would be inducted. He said that previously, the idea was to induct fresh batch of ministers after the budget, but a final decision in this regard would be taken later.
Referring to the boycott of NSC meeting by the leader of the opposition and the chief minister of the NWFP, he said: “They have done no good for democracy by abstaining from the council (NSC) which had come into being as an act of parliament.”
When questioned about the possibility of a reshuffle in his cabinet, Mr Jamali said: “Yes, portfolios of some ministers could be changed”.
Asked to comment as to who was behind the efforts for destabilising his government, the prime minister said that he had no knowledge about it but “I can (only) pray to Allah to show conspirators the right path”.
He said that the so-called analysts were concocting such reports on their own in the absence of any concrete information, adding: "I am surprised at people who have been time and again reminded about things were not taking notice of such happenings.
When asked as to why did he not use agencies to gather information about elements who were responsible for forwarding destabilizing theories, he said: “These officials are supposed to perform official duty. I can’t deploy them to do my personal duty.”
He said that whatever confusion was visible, had been created by media reports and there was “nothing on the ground”.
When his attention was diverted towards reports published in an Urdu newspaper suggesting that he (the prime minister) had tendered his resignation and that it would take effect from June 29, Mr Jamali said: “The said newspaper seems to have more knowledge than me.”
He said that those, who were creating confusion, were in the habit of playing ‘one-day cricket’ while politics was a long-term game and a serious business, adding: “We prefer playing five-day matches.” He attributed the continuing crisis-like situation to what he preferred to call generation gap.
Referring to the ban on MMA leaders’ entry in Sindh, he said that the problem pertained to the law and order situation of that province, adding that provinces were free to take whatever actions they deemed necessary in the interest of peace.
He said everything seemed to be good when it was done within the ambit of law.
JAmali resigns ..whos next
WHo will be the next prime minister ....
I think three probables are Humayon AKhtar khan....KHurshid qasuri..and farooq leghari
and the most probable is farooq leghari for his connection with all the four provinces.....
Just saw Jamalis press copnference on ARY. Shujaat will be the next prime minister. Thieves are taking over Pakistan. This must be the worst nomination for Prime minister ever. Musharraf has lost the plot big time.

Thanks for the information brother…
I think this is another sign of the times, the Army appoints a nobody as PM, because they don't want someone who can challenge them, then kick him out because he can't deliver and appoint a lota and former loyal robber baron of Nawaz Sharif as PM...talk about ridiculous.
I think this news will be taken badly in Baluchistan...and will be considered another sign of how they are deprived of a presence federally.
I want to congratulate Gen.Pervez Musharraf for his splendid achievement of removing a rubber stamp Baloch from PM spot and replacing with a corrupt Chaudhry from Gujrat.
Now we can see a real “corruption free” regime with Chaudhry Shujaat as PM.
If Shaukat Aziz comes to power, it will be even better because we will be the first nation to have a US citizen as premier.
The wonders of “guided” democracy never cease. It is going more like an unguided missile :biggthumb
Finance Experts are ruling the Indian subContinent. With Manmohan Singh and P. Chidambaram in India, it would be a welcome to have a US Banker leading Pakistan.
well this had to happen
rumours were all around before the resignation of Sindh CM Ali Mohd. Meher
and now my prediction ....... Balouchistan CM Jam Mohd. Yousuf is going to be the next one to resign .. lets see
