Kazmi, a sitting PPP legislator, was arrested on the order of a Rawalpindi court, on the charges of massive corruption in Hajj arrangements. The investigators arrested the minister when the court turned down his pre- arrest bail. It is pertinent to mention that Zardari is the only president who will address the joint session of parliament for the fourth parliamentary year. staff report
