Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari on Tuesday said Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf’s inexperienced government won’t be able to work and next prime minister would send Imran Khan to jail.

Talking to media persons in Tando Allahyar, the former president said that the inexperienced prime minister was unable to handle the country.

“Puppets brought in by elections will not be able to govern. Conditions are serious and the government cannot handle it,” he added.

Zardari said the worst democratic government was better than the best dictatorship.

“Put me in jail, but first prove I transferred money in fake accounts, Zardari said.

“This is why we are in parliament, so other powers do not use our absence to manipulate the system. PTI is trying hard to break the system.”

With reference to the ongoing case of fake bank accounts, Zardari said: “As long as we are alive they will try to put us in jail.”

Zardari said that some of the clauses of 18th Amendment were weak and the government wanted to dissolve the amendment in the guise of these weak clauses.

Zardari criticized ex-prime minister Nawaz Sharif saying that Nawaz Sharif made the accountability law for opposition.

The ex-president also slammed Prime Minister Imran Khan and said: “I along with my sister Faryal Talpur have been called for interrogation in the court.” He added that Imran Khan was openly taking revenge.

While discussing PM Khan’s policies, he said that the PPP restored the constitution in its original form but Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government’s policy was just focusing to demolish 100-year-old walls of the Punjab Governor House.

He remarked that the present government was non-serious and it has no consolidated political approach.

He added “We have courage and patience. Does Imran Khan have the courage to bear imprisonment?
