Dubai, June 8: Amidst Pervez Musharraf's insistence that he would not resign, Pakistan's ruling PPP chief Asif Ali Zardari has said that Parliament had the power to 'send home' any President or Prime Minister.

"The Parliament always has the power that whenever it wants, it can send home democratically a President or a Prime Minister," Zardari, who is on a visit to Saudi Arabia along with Premier Yousuf Raza Gilani, told a joint press conference in Madinah.

His remarks follow President Musharraf's statement yesterday that he had no plans to resign or go into exile.

"I am not going to resign. I will remain in Pakistan.... Rumours about my resignations are rubbish," Musharraf had said said in his first interaction with the media after the new Government assumed office in March.

Zardari, about relations with PML-N chief Nawaz Sharif, said the former premier was part of the coalition and only PML-N's ministers had withdrawn from the Cabinet.
