ailing Makhdoom Amin Fahim had been issued. The bureaucrats in Sindh were being harassed by the FIA and NAB. “The chief secretary of Sindh is on bail. All this unmistakably presents a clear pattern of political harassment and revenge,” he said. “By doing so, Sindh has been immobilised under the direct orders from the Prime Minister’s House.” he added.
The former president said that in Punjab a video surfaced in which a provincial minister, Rana Mashhood, was seen receiving money on behalf of the Mian brothers but he had not yet been arrested.
Asif Zardari said that the PPP was a party of fearless followers who could not be defeated by the threat of executions, lashings or imprisonment. “It seems that Nawaz Sharif has not learnt any lesson from the past. We are not the ones who fled to Jeddah after seeking pardon,” he said.
The former president said the nation very well knew that the ‘honour’ of applying for pardon by a politician in the country only belonged to Nawaz Sharif.
“Today Nawaz Sharif is the prime minister of the country and Shahbaz Sharif is the Punjab chief minister only because of the PPP. It was the PPP which removed the ban on becoming prime minister or chief minister for the third time — although it was evident to us that it will only serve the interests of the Mian brothers,” he added.
He said that actions being taken by the federal agencies in Sindh were a clear violation of the Constitution. If they wanted to conduct a fair accountability, they should first take action against a federal minister who had given a confessional statement before a magistrate that he had been involved in money laundering for the Sharif brothers. “Only then we will know how clean the followers of the N-League are,” he added. He demanded that the report of Justice Najafi on the Model Town killings should be made public and all involved in this gruesome murder of innocent people be arrested. He also demanded that all characters involved in the Asghar Khan case should also be apprehended.
The former president asked if those who had killed 14 people, including women, in the Model Town tragedy were not terrorists. “Why they were not being arrested.” He said that this dark night of injustice would come to an end very soon.
