Author: News Desk

KARACHI: Pakistan People’s Party Co-Chairman Asif Ali Zardari said on Saturday that his party tried to save former prime minister Nawaz Sharif time and again but he always ‘stabbed PPP in the back’.

Speaking to reporters after a meeting here, Zardari said that he tried to reach an understanding with the PML-N leader in the past for the sake of democracy. “But, Nawaz never mends his ways,” he said, adding that Nawaz does politics to his own benefit only. “I will, however, continue to do politics above personal benefits and gains,” he asserted.

The PPP chief said when the PML-N formed government in 2013, it appeared that they could survive for a year or so only.He said that his party supported the PML-N and Nawaz Sharif in order to save democracy. “We didn’t want a game of chairs so we supported Nawaz,” he said.

Zardari said he will hold Nawaz accountable for his actions at a suitable time, adding that PML-N can try his tactics while the PPP will use its own. He said that only PPP can save Pakistan in the current scenario.
