- PM says there would be no compromise on Karachi operation
Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif said on Tuesday that he was disappointed by recent statements made by former president and Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Co-Chairman Asif Ali Zardari.
On August 31, the former president criticised the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) government, warning PM Sharif against “repeating the politics of 1990s”. Zardari made his statement after the PPP ended its ‘policy of reconciliation’ in the lead-up to the local government elections and the recent arrests of PPP leaders in Sindh.
In response to Zardari, Sharif said he was baffled at such a statement. Chairing a meeting of the PML-N Sindh, the prime minister, according to Online sources, said he awarded everyone respect and wanted to move forward with everyone.
Sharif added that his government, upon Zardari’s retirement as president, had given the PPP co-chairman a farewell ceremony.
“In the past, the Center would interfere in the matters of provinces, but this had not taken place during the tenure of the present government,” sources quoted the prime minister as saying.
The prime minister reaffirmed that there would be no compromise on the Karachi operation, which was aimed at terrorists and criminals. According to sources the prime minister stressed that indiscriminate action would be taken against those looting national wealth.
The good thing about Zardari is that he does not stab in the back unlike his formar ally Nawaz Sharif the Brutus.
