Asif Zardari blames PTI govt has signed an NRO deal with Moulvis

KHAIRPUR: Ex-President of Pakistan and Co-chairman Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Asif Ali Zardari said an National Reconcilliation Ordinance (NRO) deal has definitely been reached between government and the moulvis.

Talking to the media persons at Khairpur in interior Sindh, Mr Zardari said, “he cannot say regarding any NRO between Prime Minister Imran Khan and the PML-N.”

Regarding the PTI government, Mr Zardari said, “it’s Pakistan under-14 team, who are playing in the federal government and let’s see what they achieve.”

Mr Zardari claimed like Nawaz’s government, Imran Khangovernment had come into power after a dea.

The PTI government’s attitude in the assembly was still that of the opposition, and said that in his speech on the floor of the house, he had even urged the government to play its role and leave opposition politics to them, “but nothing makes any difference to them.

Regretting the current state of affairs in Sindh, he said if the federal government would only release funds for the province, there would be no stopping the development and prosperity of the region.

“The federation only does things for its own benefit,” he said, adding that the government “better change its direction and serve the people of Sindh”.

He also criticised the government approaching the International Monetary Fund (IMF) for assistance, saying the people were already deeply steeped in inflation and instead of providing relief, the government was only bombarding them with further expenses.

The former president remarked that his party had also had issues with the previous (Sharif) government but “remained silent for the sake of democracy because the people’s party has given sacrifices for democracy”.

The Sindh government was committed to serving the people of Thar and was working towards the provision of their every basic need, he claimed.
