Zardari nominates makhdoom shahabuddin for pm
Legal trouble
On the day of his nomination as PM the Anti-Narcotics Force issued a non-bailable warrant for his arrest. The Supreme Court of Pakistan in its decision to grant him bail observed that it was not merely a coincidence that the warrants for his arrest were issued upon the very day that he was nominated by the PPP.
