"Our PM is on world tour with begging bowl in hands" : Asif Ali Zardari

[Abdullah719]

Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari has said that conspiracies are being hatched to put him behind bars, which however if materialise would make him even ‘more popular’.

Addressing a gathering in Nawabshah on Tuesday, the former president of the country remarked that he has been involved in conflicts with different governments of the past, adding that getting arrested was not that big a deal for him, Express News reported.

The PPP supremo alleged that former premier Nawaz Sharif and Prime Minister Imran Khan had come into power through backdoor deals. “Dealers know how to strike deals but don’t know how to run the country,” he added.

Taking a jibe at PM Khan’s recent visits to secure financial assistance from Saudi Arabia and China, Zardari said, “Our PM is on world tour with begging bowl in hands.” He added that his government ran the affairs of the country through own resources and opted against picking up the ‘begging bowl’.

Commenting on a trade deal with China in local currency, the PPP leader said that his government had struck similar deals with six different countries years ago.

Asif Ali Zardari, his sister Faryal Talpur, Omni Group’s Anwar Majeed, former Pakistan Stock Exchange chairman Hussain Lawai and Summit Bank Senior Vice-President Taha Raza are among those being investigated by the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) for alleged money laundering of over Rs35 billion through fake accounts.

Last week, the PPP leader had said that he may be put behind bars, but those doing so will first have to prove that he had deposited money in fake bank accounts.

He might be a shady character but what he has said is true. Imran Khan is on a World tour with a Bheekh ka katora in his hands.

 

[Hitman]

LOL, look who is speaking

 

[Bilal_103]

The audacity by Mr 10% lol

Am I missing something? Isn't there a contradiction in his own statement?

Here it is,

"Commenting on a trade deal with China in local currency, the PPP leader said that his government had struck similar deals with six different countries years ago."

 

[CricketCartoons]

At least he is doing it for the country and not himself. His predecessors had left him with no choice.

No thanks to PPP and PMLN who have ruined the nation.

Now analyze what you have said, without using the jiggly mass between your two ears.

Why is he visiting friendly countries and for who?

What brought us to this position? I am sure anyone with little bit jiggly mass between two ears would say, because one of the person responsible for it is, Zardari.

Now what you have said is probably the dumbest thing, maybe intentionally or maybe it has to do with that you have no idea what you are talking about and regurgitating what you have heard from someone because you forgot to use that jiggly mass between two ears.

 

[Swashbuckler]

Checked the forex reserves list and was surprise to see Pakistan so low, I mean the situation is dire. Surely the likes of Zardari and Bhutto are to blame for the mess, Imran government isn't responsible for the current plight. It may look pathetic to see a PM going on foreign trips to ask for financial support but he is only doing it to solve the crisis brought upon him by his predecessors.

 

[Bewal Express]

AZ your time behind bars is getting nearer by the day.

 

[sjahmed23]

Lol so what is he suppose to do? Sit in his mansion and do nothing while kids die of thirst like in Sindh?

 

[tahir_dj]

every time bhutto/zardari clan speaks I love to share this image
read the highlight park

I am no expert but I dont think the words, deal or even loan translates to "bheek".

 

[Mamoon]

Well said.

 

[CricVet]

A Bhikari has bheek in his head all the time - very well said by a bhikari!

 

[PakLFC]

A billionaire ten times over having looted the country repeatedly cursing an honest PM for begging shows how pathetic Zardari is. Return all your ill gotten money that will easily secure Pak's future. IK has to ask for loans at this moment in time from friendly countries. He is trying to avoid going to the IMF.

 

[Eagle_Eye]

Well atleast he's trying to put money in the kitty.... as appose to emptying it like Zardari

Soo choohay kha kay billi hujj ko challi.

[corneredtiger85292]

This individual is a absoulte disgrace !

Very much looking forward to the day he will be behind bars. Coming soon inshallah !

 

[ahsan17]

That was literally one of the first things PPP government did when they came into power in 2008. What a hypocrite.

 

[blackanhyellow]

Ten years of the Zardari / Shariff combo, and they want Imran to solve the destruction in 2 months.

PPP/PMLN voters think PTI voters are deluded, when in reality they are the ones who think Imran is the true saviour and the chosen one to undue 10 years of destruction at the snap of his fingers.

Long live the chosen one, may he reign long, may he reign forever!!

 

[Arham_PakFan]

) ) hilarious.

What choice did he have left? After decades of corruption and incompetence, Zardari should better keep his mouth shut.

 

[Major]

I think it should be mandatory for any Head of the state to have knowledge regarding Micro and Macro economics.

What Imran is doing is helping our balance of payments

 

[Syed1]

Only in Pakistan would filth like Zardari will be moving around with impunity and also being a member of parliament


Most other countries would have dismembered him for his crimes towards the state.

 

[Bewal Express]

For a start trying to stop the laundering of vital Foreign exchange that your PPP leadership are so good at.

 

[Asim_khan]

And you only realised this after Nawaz and Zardari were no longer in power?
