Vehari: In a major development, Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Co-Chairman Asif Ali Zardari on Monday said his party will fight the next elections on the symbol of “Arrow” and not for unity with the ruling Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM).
“We are not part of the PDM, but we are their partners in government,” the PPP leader said during a press conference in Vehari ahead of the general elections in Punjab – scheduled for April 30.
The PPP is apparently at loggerheads with the PDM-led government over governance and economic issues as the country is witnessing historic inflation and suffering losses from devastating floods.
Zardari also rejected talks with Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman Imran Khan and said that the former prime minister was not a politician. In response to the question about the police’s attempt to arrest the PTI chief and whether he was consulted, Zardari said that it is the authority of the interior minister, why would he consult me?
