Author: Web Desk

LAHORE: Former president and Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Co-Chairman Asif Ali Zardari on Sunday said that the political party has never lost an election except for ‘RO elections’; General Elections 2013 that opposition parties claimed were rigged by Returning Officers (RO).

He briefly addressed the media in Lahore after attending a lunch hosted in his honour by PPP’s Nadeem Afzal Chan.

He challenged Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz’s power in Punjab and claimed that PPP would let the political party know in 2018 what elections really mean.

Earlier in a statement, Zardari called for deliberation among parties over border management with Afghanistan to ensure elimination of terrorism and peace in the region. He said that border should be managed after consulting the political parties.

Zardari said that allegations regarding terror hideouts and safe havens have damaged the terms between Pakistan and Afghanistan. The former president advised against delaying management of the borders further.

He further said that all those who wish for elimination of terror should laud ongoing fencing along Pakistan-Afghanistan border.
