KARACHI: Pakistan Peoples’ Party (PPP) leader Syed Murad Ali Shah said on Friday that the National Accountability Bureau (NAB), which used to be the nightmare for Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PML-N), is now on the same page with the party.
During the press conference in Hyderabad, the PPP leader Murad Ali Shah criticized favoritism in politics and stated that “during “the general elections in 2013 and 2018, the counting was just done as a part formality as the ‘favorite’ [Ladla] was already selected.”
Murad Ali Shah stated that the PPP is rejecting this ‘selection culture’ and supports the constitution, saying that “as per the constitution the government belongs to the general public of Pakistan, they are the ones to elect their representatives.” He added that the “PPP will go in the public despite not getting fair level playing field.
