#Pakistan #PPP - Zardari is “a man of iron” - Aitzaz Ahsan

Pakistan Peoples Party’s (PPP) former senator and renowned lawyer Aitzaz Ahsan said Zardari is “a man of iron” who has refused to seek a bail despite being iller than former prime minister Nawaz Sharif, who got bail on medical grounds and later flew to London for treatment.

“Nawaz Sharif also fled the country in 2000,” he said in a reference to Nawaz Sharif’s exile to Saudi Arabia one year after his arrest in the wake of a military coup in October 1999.

He said Asif Ali Zardari has only two demands: permission to get medical treatment from his personal physician and shifting of his case from Islamabad to Karachi.

“There is a growing perception that NAB [National Accountability Bureau] law is different in Punjab and Sindh. This perception must be dispelled. The law should be the same for all,” he added.
