ISLAMABAD: Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Co-chairman and former president Asif Ali Zardari has said asked PTI MNAs to take back their resignations from the National Assembly.
Zardari in his statement said the US is trapped in own issues like inflation in the wake of Covid pandemic, adding the Americans think about Pakistan when there is some issue like Afghanistan.
He said, “They (the US) are not interested in either me or Imran Khan. He (Imran Khan) is selling his political line. He lies on every count … exaggerates (to the level) that is impossible to imagine.”
Zardari said he had been in secret talks with the opposition leader, including Shehbaz Sharif, for three years for bringing down the government. He said it was he who nominated and convinced Shehbaz for premiership.

Zardari said first he was locked up, and then Nawaz Sharif was jailed. Later, the PDM was formed but it faced some issues, including personal interest, but eventually the opposition parties gathered for the sake of Pakistan’s interest, he added.
The former president said the ruling parties would take a decision on this issue in consultation with each other. On assigning the foreign ministry to Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, he said the PPP central executive committee would have the final word on this matter.
Talking about the scandal, Zardari had revealed a Pakistani businessman had financed him (Imran Khan), adding the financing was in millions of dollars.
