Only the reason for hating and then trying to overthrow Zardari is wrong. Pak Army hates any Pak leader, who tries to have good relations with India or an Awami League run B.D. Government.
Nawaz Sharif had tried to do have good relations with Indian so Pak Army had destroyed that dialogue by infiltrating in to Kargil.
Then, did the same by Mumbai Attacks, when Zardari tried to do the same.
Pak Army wants only Puppets in Democracy that it has been staging to keep getting Charity of Aid Loans.
