The development came as Zardari’s party and a key anti-government ally were preparing for a massive rally against Prime Minister Imran Khan later this month

Zardari became president in 2008, after Pakistan’s former military dictator Pervez Musharraf was forced to resign. Bhutto served twice as a prime minister before she was killed by the Taliban in a bomb and gun attack in 2007. Zardari served as Pakistan’s president until 2013.During Monday’s court appearance in the capital, Islamabad, Zardari pleaded not guilty to money laundering and corruption charges.

The government says the corruption cases against Zadari began during ex-Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s tenure. Last week, Sharif – speaking from his exile in London – accused Pakistan’s powerful military of rigging the 2018 election that brought Khan to power. Khan has dismissed the allegations as baseless.
