KARACHI: A resolution condemning Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari was submitted in Sindh Assembly on Monday for dubbing former SSP Malir Rao Anwar ‘brave kid’.
The resolution was tabled by Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s (PTI)’s Khurram Sher Zaman in which he criticised Zardari for declaring Anwar, who had allegedly killed innocent people in fake encounters, brave kid.
The resolution further demanded Zardari to apologise from Karachi people.
Earlier, in an interview, Zardari had maintained that media sensationalised Naqeebullah murder case. “Everyone should back off and review the case from a new angle,” he asserted.
However, Zardari had regretted the remarks he made during an interview to a private TV channel. PPP spokesperson Senator Farhatullah Babar had said the party co-chairman had described his words as “misspoken and regretted any offence to anyone”.
The former SSP Malir is under scrutiny over his alleged involvement in the extrajudicial killing of Naqeebullah Mehsud.
The Supreme Court (SC) on Friday had issued contempt of court notice to Anwar and directed to freeze all his bank accounts over failure to appear in hearing.
