Former president and Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Co-Chairman Asif Ali Zadari on Friday suggested engaging the establishment along with all the political parties to steer the country out of the crisis it faces.
“We will have to talk with each and everyone and even engage establishment to resolve the crisis,” Zardari told a select group of journalists at the Zardari House. He said that “we have talked to all the democratic forces to take the country forward”. About the way out from the prevailing political crisis, the former president noted that more and more understanding between the political forces is the panacea to all the issue, including the ongoing political impasse.
About any change in his party’s stance, Zadari reaffirmed that the PPP will stand for democracy and told the media that he can only assure Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif that “we are with you for the sake of democracy”. “I cannot give him any advice,” Zardari replied plainly when asked about any suggestion he would like to give to the government. He did not rule out an international conspiracy, but did not go into details when asked whether he saw a conspiracy behind the current political mess. Zardari also rejected the perception that he is playing a “double game” and said that he is not a kind of person to play on both sides. “When I fight I fight openly,” he asserted.
