KARACHI: Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) senior leader and former opposition leader Syed Khursheed Shah on Sunday said that former president Asif Ali Zardari will appear before the banking court on Monday in the money laundering case.
The court had extended the former president’s interim bail last month.
The joint investigation team (JIT) formed to probe into mega money laundering scam had filed its report in the Supreme Court (SC) last month. The JIT report pointed out the involvement of Zardari in money-laundering through fake bank accounts.
Pointing towards an expected alliance between the PPP and the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), Khursheed said, “Nothing is the final word in politics.” He relayed that Zardari and convicted former prime minister Nawaz Sharif will definitely hold a meeting. However, he said, they did not have an agenda to take down the government.
“Democracy is the real power in the country. The decisions which are taken outside the parliament always lead to destruction. We will have to take decisions by remaining within the constitution and the parliament,” he said.
