LAHORE: Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Co-Chairman Asif Ali Zardari on Friday said that the party does not rule out the option to form alliance with PTI if there’s a need of it after elections.
“As they say, necessity is the mother of invention. We needed one another during the Senate elections, so we formed an alliance with, and if PTI is needed again after elections, we will form an alliance once more,” Zardari said while speaking to the journalists in Lahore.
Taunting PTI chief Imran Khan, Zardari said: “PPP is willing to act as both the government or the opposition. We are not obsessed with the PM house because we have seen it on numerous occasions, but Imran is, since he has never seen it.”
Taking jibes at former PM Nawaz Sharif, the PPP co-chief said that Nawaz has “damaged” PPP’s struggle for upholding democracy. “Benazir Bhutto and Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto sacrificed themselves to uphold democracy, but Nawaz turned himself into a Mughal emperor and damaged and disrespected democracy.”
Responding to Nawaz’s remarks that PML-N was up against “hidden forces”, the former president said that Nawaz has used “the same hidden forces all his career” and that he has strong relations with them.
