Opposition wants to topple govt, not democracy: Zardari

[WebGuru]

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Peoples Party co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari said on Thursday that the opposition wanted to topple the government, but not the democratic system.

Talking to media persons at Parliament House, he described the recent multi-party conference as successful and said the opposition parties would devise a joint strategy which would bring ‘good news’ for the nation.

In reply to a question about the Balochistan National Party-Mengal, Mr Zardari said: “We did not ask Akhtar Mengal to vote for us and we have no worries that he had supported the government.”

Talking about the government’s move to file references against two judges of superior courts, the PPP co-chairman said he knew that the judges were under immense pressure, but it was a fact that he had raised their salaries. He said the prices of essential commodities had gone up in the country due to faulty policies of the government.

Answering a question regarding the opposition’s plan to get Senate Chairman Sadiq Sanjrani removed, Mr Zardari said the opposition had required number of votes in the upper house for his removal constitutionally.

He said Prime Minister Imran Khan had done ‘injustice’ by not personally receiving Afghan President Ashraf Ghani on his official visit to Pakistan.

So what happened to COD and let every government complete their 5 years terms? Talk about hypocrisy

Maybe democracy is all about having PPP and PMLN ruling Pakistan

And why he is feeling bad for IK not personally receiving Ghani? "He said Prime Minister Imran Khan had done ‘injustice’ by not personally receiving Afghan President Ashraf Ghani on his official visit to Pakistan."

So charter of democracy only applies to PML-N and PPP? How is that better than any dictatorship?

The mere fact that the officers who went to arrest him had to profusely apologize while arresting him was very embarrassing

Nothing is going to be toppled here. Zardari just trying to save his money before he becomes Nawaz's prison partner. He looks so terribly ill yet still seems to have no fear of Allah. What a horrible and pathetic man he is.

Isn't he supposed to be in jail or something Haven't been following the news.

Elected MNAs who are under arrest are allowed to attend assembly sessions because otherwise it would mean that the district he or she is representing has no say in the assembly. Quite a draconian law but it exists what can you do.

Now that budget has passed there might be a pause in these appearances from snake Zardari.
