#AsifAliZardari - ‘Those with three-year tenures’ cannot decide for the nation, says Zardari

Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari on Saturday said only parliament can take decisions for the nation, and that “individuals with three-year terms” have no right to do so.

“What right does an individual, who has a tenure of three years, to make decisions about my nation?” the PPP-co-chairman questioned, while addressing a public gathering here.

“Only parliament has this right and no one else.”
Without naming anyone, he said they keep visiting different places, questioning, “What do you have to do [with them]?
“There have been 900,000 case pending in courts, you should look into those,” Zardari said.
“You have no future, why do you decide about the future of things? I say it even today that one should act remaining with legal and constitutional bounds.”
He said only parliament has the right to make decisions about the nation. “It was better that transparent elections were allowed to be held and political parties could have formed a government through consensus.”
Criticising the government, he said that government functionaries say 100 days were less for them and what could they do such a short period.
“We got rid of Musharraf in 100 days, we got Swat freed in 100 days,” the PPP co-chairman noted, recalling his party’s tenure in the centre.
He said only a party of the masses could understand their needs and problems, not the “parties that are made.”
Zardari said if he could run a government in a good way then it did not imply he could also play good cricket.
“I don’t know how to play cricket. I know politics and I can do that,” he said. “Politics is when Musharraf reached home and said ‘I don’t know what happened and how it happened’.”
He suggested the government to provide opportunities to local businessmen and facilitate stock exchange, adding, “Only technology and experts should be invited from abroad.”
