TAUNSA: Pakistan People’s Party Co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari on Tuesday questioned disqualified prime minister Nawaz Sharif for playing the role of a victim. Speaking to the media, the former president asked how the Pakistan Muslim League-N leader claimed to be a victim while enjoying huge official security protocol.
“With six cars moving in front of his vehicle, and six cars behind him, how can he (Nawaz) claim himself to be a victim? “We were the ones who were victimised and brought to the court in armoured vehicles,” Zardari said. “How can he be a victim when he has his government in place?”
The PPP leader also claimed that his party will be able to form a government in Punjab after the 2018 elections. “The Panama issue originated from outside, it wasn’t started by former Ehtesab Commission Chairman Saifur Rehman," said Zardari while taking a jibe at the incumbent government. Zardari said he hoped the general elections would be held on time. Referring to Pakistan's eastern neighbour, he said that there was a big difference between India of Nehru and Prime Minister Narendra Modi's India. “I can’t find secularism in Modi’s India,” he added.
Earlier, Zardari, while addressing a joint opposition protest rally to seek justice for the Model Town tragedy in Lahore, said the only threat to the country was from Jati Umra — the residence of former prime minister Nawaz Sharif.
“They do not care about Pakistan; they only care about Jati Umra." He claimed that only the PPP cares about Pakistan, its soil, and the people of its soil. "They [Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz leaders] know that they can be disqualified anytime; I wish to do so, but I just think [the betterment] of Pakistan,” said Zardari. The PPP co-chairman also thanked the attendees for showing solidarity with the Model Town incident victims and promised to get justice for the families of the deceased.
Our correspondent: Asif Zardari said that Modi's thinking is main problem in Pak-India relations as we are facing an issue with Modi's policies rather than India. He said that we cannot observe secularism in India during the era of Modi nowadays.
