Railways Minister Sheikh Rasheed Ahmed on Thursday claimed that Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari, who has been released from prison on medical grounds earlier in the day, is likely to return the nation’s “looted wealth” through a plea bargain by March 2020. Speaking to the media in Islamabad, Rasheed, who is also chief of the Awami Muslim League (AML), expressed satisfaction over the release of the former president. In the same breath, he warned that PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari’s political career would be bleak if his father did not strike a plea bargain with the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) in corruption references. On Wednesday, the Islamabad High Court (IHC) had approved Zardari’s bail in corruption cases filed by NAB and directed him to submit two surety bonds worth Rs10 million each to the accountability court.
