KARACHI: Federal Minister for Maritime Affairs Ali Haider Zaidi has slammed Asif Ali Zardari, alleging that the former president had looted the country and would be punished for his wrongdoings.
Speaking to media after inaugurating a library at Pakistan Navy Shipping Corporation on Monday, the minister remarked, “A thief, dacoit, a murderer has no respect and Zardari will not be spared.”
Responding to the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) co-chairman’s recent criticism of the government, Zaidi said: “Zardari did not plunder [the country] within his limits, he rather plundered the whole country.”
“I tell him [Zardari] that he is arrogant and he will be sentenced like a dacoit for whatever he did [to the country],” the federal minister said.
Referring to instances of fake bank accounts, he retorted “I am also thinking to throw my identity card inside the Bilawal House.”
The federal minister also criticised the development of conceding the chairmanship of Public Accounts Committee (PAC) to Shehbaz Sharif, saying the government had to swallow a bitter pill for the sake of democracy.
