KARACHI (92 News) – Former president Asif Ali Zardari has regretted that government is busy in fighting with the opposition instead of COVID-19. The Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) co-chairman stated during the telephone call with PPP Punjab leader Qamar Zaman Kaira. “The incumbent federal government has ruined the national consensus,” the ailing former president said. He has underlined the need of national unity to fight coronavirus threat on Wednesday. “Coming days will be more critical for the country”, Zardari predicted in the conversation with the PPP leader.
Imran Khan is following footsteps of Musharraf
The PPP co-chairman also maintained that Prime Minister (PM) Imran Khan is following footsteps of ex-president and military dictator Pervez Musharraf.
Incumbent govt wants to take back financial liberty of provinces
He said the PPP came into power in 2008, when the country was passing through very tough time and added that Swat operation was initiated after building the national consensus. Asif Ali Zardari said 18th amendment was passed with an aim to give financial rights to the provinces and make the federation more stronger. During his tenure, his government ensured constitutional rights to all the provinces to make the federation strong. “The current government wants to deprive the provinces of their constitutional and financial authorities,” he claimed.
