KARACHI – Former president Asif Ali Zardari said on Tuesday that if the Imran Khan-led government is in any form of danger then those who brought it into power will save it.
In an interaction with newsmen in Tando Allahyar, the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) co-chairman took a jibe at Prime Minister Imran Khan’s government and said the country is in a complicated situation and the government neither has political thinking nor understanding.
Zardari went a mile more and said the country cannot be run by puppets stressing that [we] need a leadership which is in touch with ground realities.
He reiterated that the PTI cannot run the government.

Commenting on PM Imran’s chicken plan for economic uplift, the former president said: Buy chicken and sell their eggs and see if any satisfaction or happiness is achieved.
The lawmaker claimed that PTI supporters were trying their best to derail the system but hastened to add that PPP will strengthen democracy so no one else can get a chance.
He highlighted that the worst democracy is better than dictatorship and owing to this mindset his party was sitting in the Parliament today so no one can say that country doesn’t function.
The former president warned that the incumbent regime was using the excuse of some clauses of the 18th Amendment to annul the 1973 Constitution and revive one-unit politics.
We had started a struggle against one-unit politics and will continue to oppose it, he vowed.
Zardari expressed that they had the courage and patience to face jail terms adding that those who would send us to jail will be sent to jail by their successors.
He cited an example that former premier Nawaz Sharif established accountability courts and laws and today he was facing them himself.
The legislator also fired a broadside at the government for its foreign policy overtures saying, I cannot see any foreign policy of the government and I think they only have one policy and that is to break walls of the governor house.
“Whether you make a library or a museum in the governor house, you will need walls,” Zardari added.
He also expressed his dismay at the sealing of sugar mills expressing that the poor are bearing the losses.
