ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) will continue to support the Pakistan Muslim League - Nawaz-led (PML-N) government in the Centre during its five-year long tenure, Express News reported Thursday.

President Zardari said this at his farewell lunch hosted by Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif at the Prime Minister House.

"Muslim countries around the globe are facing immense problems and in order to save ourselves from various threats, we have to join hands and stay united," Zardari emphasised.

President Zardari, while recalling Benazir Bhutto's tenure as the prime minister, said: “I did not feel like coming to the PM house today as it reminded me of my wife and children who were arrested from this place.”

Nawaz also spoke on the occasion and commended President Zardari and the role he played after Benazir's death. He also said that he want President Zardari to leave with pleasant memories.

Good to see smiling faces from both major political parties. This will strengthen democracy and democratic norms. Side Kick parties might make fun of this farewell party but this also shows will to hold tight reigns of democracy which is the only way to move forward in letter and spirit.
