Having ruled out the hawks within his party, PPP co-chairperson Asif Ali Zardari has reached out to Prime Minister nawaz Sharif and has enquired about his health. Let’s not be too rigid and churlish in our politics, he told the hardliners within his party. The premiere, too, would like to think he has also been kind and graceful in these matters, what with having invited Zardari to break bread with him after the latter left the presidency. But with old videos of Zardari’s resurfacing, where he is in a sorry state of incarceration during nawaz Sharif’s second term, it is clear that this is not a completely balanced equation. This former president seems to have a greater capacity to forgive, if not forget, than the Leaguer.
