Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari has said that his party will not become a part of any non-democratic move against the ruling Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) government.
Addressing a news conference in Nawabshah on Thursday evening, Zardari said, “The PPP is the founder of the 1973 Constitution; [therefore], it will not support any non-democratic move.”
“The Constitution does not mention any technocrat government,” he maintained.
“I think that the elections of Senate will be held on time,” he said, adding, “I will contest election from Nawabshah if the party awards me the ticket.”
Moreover, the PPP co-chairman termed eight-year-old Zainab’s murder as the failure of the Punjab government.
Regarding the alliance with Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT) chief Tahirul Qadri, Zardari said his party will join the protest, demanding resignations of the provincial chief minister and law minister.
