KARACHI – Co-chairman of Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Asif Ali Zardari, in a recent interview on Monday, said the former prime minister Nawaz Sharif is trying to “stir a fight between Islamabad and Rawalpindi”.

The former president said that an individual who is disqualified cannot become any party’s president in a free and fair democratic system.

Zardari said that when he was in London nearly a year ago, Nawaz Sharif himself approached him for a meeting.

Meanwhile, the co-chairman of PPP had stayed in Dubai and London for nearly 18 months, following a controversial statement he made against the military.

However it was widely reported in the media that Nawaz had declined to meet the former president, there was no official statement on this matter release from either side.

The PPP co-chairman pointed out that he has since the past few days received “ten messages from Nawaz Sharif.

“This is not a fight between Islamabad and Rawalpindi, but Nawaz wants to make it one,” he said.

He maintained that going to jail has not weakened him, “Let’s see which jail Nawaz is sent to in Punjab, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Balochistan or Sindh.”
