Ex-president and co-chairperson of the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Asif Ali Zardari on Tuesday stated that the chances of the PPP becoming a part of the PDM are rather slim.
After getting a pre-arrest bail in the New York Property case, the former president while addressing the media stated that he doesn’t know for sure but PPP is unlikely to become part of the joint opposition alliance, the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM), again.
Zardari, while referring to the PDM’s long march on Islamabad scheduled to be held on Pakistan Day, stated that Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman, who also leads the PDM, has marched in the past as well.
It is pertinent to note that Zardari’s comments came a day after a meeting between the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) President Shehbaz Sharif and the PPP chairperson Bilawal Bhutto Zardari was held in Islamabad.
According to details, both parties agreed to launch anti-government protests to send the ruling Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) packing.
It is to note that the meeting was organised after PML-N supreme leader Nawaz Sharif agreed to an in-house change.
Zardari, while speaking about the PTI government stated that he was against the PTI government from the very first day. He said he was hopeful about the in-house change as well.
He further stated that the government is made up of “imprudent individuals” who are not fit to rule and this has now been proved by recent history.
he went on to add that the government cannot do anything to facilitate people.
