ISLAMABAD: Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari has denied having met with former prime minister Nawaz Sharif secretly.
In a media interview in Islamabad on Monday, the former president said he wants to see his son Bilawal Bhutto Zardari becoming prime minister.
The PPP leader said that he would prefer to sit on the opposition benches rather than coming to power through power politics.
He also thanked Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) President Shehbaz Sharif for his wishes on late Benazir Bhutto’s birthday.
He predicted that the country would not have political stability even after the general elections.
Speaking about the forthcoming polls, the former president said that independent candidates would secure a majority of seats in Punjab, and claimed, “Whoever wins will have to talk to us.”
