“Nawaz Sharif has decided to fight the military leadership – which actually comes from the people. He wants to break the country and is in favour of establishing Greater Punjab,” Dr Asim said on Friday at Karachi Airport on his return to Pakistan after a month-long treatment in London.
“Sharif wants to remain in power for taking kickbacks. He is under the false impression and hope that he may get a portion of Pakistan [to rule]. However, the PPP will save Pakistan as it supports the military leadership [in this fight] and will continue to do so,” he added.
Dr Asim Hussain granted bail – finally
The PPP leader, who remained in the custody of paramilitary Rangers under a slew of charges and is being tried by an accountability court for alleged corruption, said he had proven the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) wrong as NAB used to claim that he would not return if allowed to go abroad.
“NAB has been proven wrong as I have returned after my successful treatment. I want to tell Nawaz Sharif that I cannot be an absconder like you. Pakistan is our country and we shall live and die here,” he added.
Sindh Assembly’s Deputy Speaker Shehla Raza and a large number of party workers were present at the airport to welcome Dr Asim, who heads the PPP’s Karachi chapter.
