‘Aliens’ influence polls everywhere in world: PPP

Author: Abdul Mateen Mahar

Leader of the Opposition in National Assembly Khursheed Shah Sunday said that ‘aliens’ are part of electoral systems across the globe, including Pakistan.

Shah was referring to the statement made by former prime minister Nawaz Sharif outside accountability court on Thursday. Nawaz had remarked that he is not contesting against the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) or Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf but ‘aliens’, adding that ‘aliens’ are busy working on installing a Parliament of their own choice.

The opposition leader said that there are no permanent rivals in politics. “No one is your friend in politics,” he said, while addressing a ceremony after laying down the foundation stone for the regional campus of Allama Iqbal Open University here.

Taking at a jibe at Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan (MQM-P), Shah remarked that even the party is not willing to accept Farooq Sattar.

Over the matter pertaining to caretaker prime minister, he said that the name will be announced by May 15.

Feeling positive about his party’s performance in the upcoming elections, he said, “Nevertheless, we will soon have Bilawal Bhutto as the face of our leadership.”
