Former president of Pakistan and Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Co-Chairman Asif Ali Zardari has directed to launch a strong protest and adopt a solid strategy against arrests of the party leaders.
Expressing annoyance on NAB and FIA actions in Sindh, the PPP co-chairman reportedly said that his party was being pushed against the wall. “Is corruption prevalent in Karachi only?” he was quoted as posing the question.
The development was followed by a statement from Opposition Leader in the National Assembly, Syed Khursheed Shah, in which the PPP leader warned of waging a war if his party’s co-chairman was targeted by the federal institutions.
Speaking to media representatives in Islamabad, he said that a decision should be made whether to keep Pakistan intact or to destabilize it.
“Any action on Asif Ali Zardari will instigate a war,” said Shah.
The opposition leader further said former prime minister Raja Pervez Ashraf was being implicated in a case regarding ‘grey trafficking’.
