President Asif Ali Zardari and Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif have reached an understanding that no case against Zardari will be opened and in return the PPP will act as a friendly opposition, the Indian media has claimed in a latest report.
According to the report, a PML-N leader, who did not want to be identified, said there was an understanding between Nawaz and Zardari that the PML-N government would not reopen any cases against the president after he completed his term and “in return, Zardari will be a friendly opposition.”
However, the presidential spokesman said President Zardari would not leave the country after completing his five-year term on September 8 as he intended to focus on reorganising the Pakistan People’s Party.
The PPP has strongly dispelled a perception in political circles that Zardari, 58, will prefer to spend most of his time in Dubai and Britain after he steps down.
“The president is going nowhere. Soon after leaving the presidency, Zardari will spend a week in Lahore to look into party affairs in Punjab,” President’s spokesman Farhatullah Babar said.
“He will give more time and attention to the party and stay mostly in Lahore and Karachi for this purpose.”
Some PML-N and PPP leaders, who spoke to foreign media, were of the view that Zardari might spend six months or so abroad with his family after completing his term.
“Zardari will prefer to stay abroad in the coming months as, at this stage, there seems to be no need to look into party affairs,” said a PPP leader who spoke on condition of anonymity.
The leader said with almost five years to go for the next general election, no one seemed to be in a hurry to indulge in the affairs of the PPP.
The previous PPP-led government refused to revive graft cases against Zardari in Switzerland despite pressure from the Supreme Court. Earlier this year, the Swiss government informed Pakistan that the cases could not be reopened as they were time-barred.
Whats new about PPP and PML-N saving each others backside.
These crooks know how to get along. Amazing, only in PAKISTAN.
So, Imran Khan's accusations of muk muka was right all along.
I am not surprised. It appears Imran Khan was right all along. This call only happen in Pakistan. This government will do what PPP for the last five years. Corruption, corruption & more corruption. The icing on the cake will be miss management. The next five years of hell. This government does give any confidence from what l have read so far.
Did you notice how Pakistan Media is quiet on this? There is one thing obvious; our E Media is our enemy No.1. Nawaz and his brother can only dish out money because this is the only thing they have in abundance.Punjab must be divided into more Provinces as should Baluchistan.All members of Election Commission including Fakhru should be tried by a special tribunal for defrauding the people of Pakistan and giving majority to the financially most corrupt party and leaders. Latest isthe Microsoft scandal.
Journalism standards getting to new lows. "Indian Media" reports through an "Un-Known" official. Both the references are so obscure and absurd that do not even make a news.
