KARACHI: Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari told to Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) that his party’s lawmakers won’t resign from assemblies at any cost.
While addressing the meeting of the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) in Lahore through a video link, Zardari asked PML-N founder Nawaz Sharif to return back to Pakistan to wage a decisive battle against the government.
The PPP co-chairman stated that the decision to submit mass resignations from assemblies will result in strengthening Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government and the establishment.
Zardari said he himself served a 13-year-long jail term so if Nawaz Sharif is serious in his battle for democracy, then he should fly back to Pakistan. “The PDM’s long march can only be successful if Nawaz Sharif returns to the country,” he maintained.
The former president also criticized PML-N leader Ishaq Dar, saying he did not take part in Senate polls despite the fact that each vote matters. “Everyone will have to face the hardships in this battle if we are in for a decisive battle for democracy,” Zardari remarked.
He pointed out that during his occupancy, the PPP government strengthened the parliament, introduced the 18th amendment and NFC award, and was punished for these pro-democratic moves but he is still ready for a long-term battle.
After the rifts among the opposition alliance, PML-N Vice President Maryam Nawaz asked Asif Ali Zardari to guarantee that the life of her father will not be endangered on his return.
Maryam Nawaz Sharif while talking to Asif Zardari said “My father’s life is in danger, how can he return home? if he comes to Pakistan, his life will be in danger.”
