Nawaz has forgotten how he called us to account: Zardari

NAUSHAHRO FEROZE: Former president and Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari said on Thursday that Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has forgotten how he had conducted their “accountability”. He said now Nawaz Sharif will understand what accountability looks like.

Addressing an event in Naushahro Feroze, Zardari claimed that the ruling party has forgotten what accountability looks like. He said it’s just a beginning.

“We have said it repeatedly that the 2013 general elections were elections of ROs (returning officers) but we accepted the results for the sake of democracy,” he said, adding, “I respect democracy unlike Nawaz Sharif and Kaptaan (Imran Khan) who do not care about democracy.”

Explaining his party’s achievements, Zardari said the PPP completed the Constitution given by former prime minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto. The former president also claimed that Pakistan’s increased economic ties with China were a gift to the nation by the PPP.  He said when the US gave a statement against Pakistan, China gave one in Pakistan’s favour.
