Pakistan President Zardari offers to resign, says reports

According to reports, Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari is ready to resign and call for early elections if the ruling coalition wants him to do so. Reports further suggest that Zardari made this announcement while chairing a meeting of the top rung of the Pakistan People's Party and its coalition partners and decided to call for an urgent session of Parliament tomorrow. This comes in the wake of a Supreme court warning that action would be taken against Zardari and Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani for failing to reopen high profile corruption cases.
