NAUSHERO FEROZE: Former President Asif Ali Zardari said on Thursday that Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif will soon understand what accountability looks like.

Addressing an event in Naushero Feroze, Zardari claimed the ruling party has forgotten what accountability looks like. “We have said it before as well that these [2013 General Elections] were ROs’ elections, but we accepted the results for the sake of democracy,” he said, adding that “I respect democracy, unlike Nawaz Sharif. He (Nawaz Sharif) and Kaptaan [Imran Khan] do not care about democracy.”

Explaining his party’s achievements, he said they completed the constitution given by [Prime Minister Zulfikae Ali] Bhutto. The former president also claimed that Pakistan’s increased economic ties with China were a ‘gift’ to the nation by the PPP. “When the US gave a statement against Pakistan, China gave one in our favour,” he added.

Earlier, speaking at the event, Opposition Leader in the National Assembly, Khursheed Shah, said the present government is snatching the livelihood of people. “Only PPP understands the true meaning of politics and serving the people,” he added. The Sharif family is undergoing unprecedented scrutiny after the Supreme Court, which in its April 20 judgment in the Panama Papers case, ordered the formation of a joint investigation team to probe the premier’s family’s financial dealings.

Responding to Zardari’s speech, Special Assistant to Prime Minister on Political Affairs Dr Asif Kirmani said that those who have looted the country were now claiming of piousness, adding that the opponents leveling allegations against PM Nawaz cannot compete against him in the 2018 polls. “They (opposition) will learn a lesson in 2018 election,” he said.
