Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari has said that he does not trust former premier Nawaz Sharif. Talking to a private TV channel on Saturday he said the PPP demonstrated enough tolerance for the sake of democracy in the state, adding, "Our fault is only this that we talk of democracy."
"Individuals from Jati Umra never won elections, they maneuver elections," he said, in a clear reference to the Sharifs. "Nawaz quit democracy and instead became a monarch." The former president said that Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader had agreed on his departure during the days of [Islamabad] sit-ins, but we supported him for the sake of democracy.
He recalled that Dr Asim Hussain never evaded income tax, but cases were made against the former petroleum minister. The PPP co-chairman said that he no longer trusts Nawaz Sharif. He noted the example of Maulana Fazlur Rahman whom he said was currently a political rival, but the chief of Jamiat Ulema Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) stands firm on what he says."This is why he is trusted," he added..
