Nawaz should make clear if he is with Pakistan: Zardari

Author: Agencies

Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari Friday questioned Nawaz Sharif’s loyalty to the country.

The former president was addressing a press conference in the federal capital along with senior PPP leaders, including Opposition Leader in Senate Sherry Rehman.

“Mian sahib should make it clear whether he is with Pakistan,” said Zardari, accusing the PML-N supremo of playing a double game.

“He [Nawaz] was playing a double game in the past and he is doing the same now,” alleged the PPP co-chairman.

Taking the credit for the recently approved merger of Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) with Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP), Zardari said that the idea was a dream of Zulfikar Ali Bhutto and his daughter Benazir.

“We were unable to implement the idea during our tenure because of the Nawaz’s double game.”

He flabbergasted those who opposed FATA-KP merger, saying: “They are afraid that their monopoly would end.”
