Diabetic man dies eating sweets to celebrate Musharraf resignation

Ahmad ate lots of sweets, distributed during impromptu celebrations to mark Musharraf’s resignation, the Dawn newspaper reported.

In most cities and towns across the country, workers of the ruling Pakistan People’s Party and its ally PML-N as well as lawyers distributed sweets among people on hearing Musharraf’s decision to step down in order to avert his impeachment by the government.

Political party workers went to traffic intersections and markets and handed out sweets to passers-by and people in buses and cars.
