SIALKOT – Information Minister Firdous Ashiq Awan on Sunday sought an apology from Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif for calling President Asif Ali Zardari names and “disowning the Constitution of Pakistan”. Talking to reporters at Pakistan Television (PTV) Sialkot Bureau, she said Shahbaz’s status as chief minister had become dubious after his use of indecent language, which had hurt the political sentiments of the masses.
Shahbaz had called Zardari a “madari” (jester) while addressing his ‘Go Zardari Go’ rally in Lahore on October 28. She said some political parties were trying to destabilise the country politically and economically, adding that the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) would foil every move to derail democracy.
