No real democracy: Sheikh Rasheed lashes out at Zardari

Rasheed says Zardari has done blunders in last PPP tenure, therefore he tries to save himself by supporting PML-N govt

KARACHI: Sheikh Rasheed Ahmed, leader of Awami Muslim League (AML), said on Wednesday that Pakistan Peoples Party co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari was not strengthening the democracy, but he had been trying to protect himself from incumbent government action against him.  “Zardari has done blunders in last PPP tenure, therefore he always tries to save himself by supporting Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz government,” he said while talking to media at Karachi airport. Rasheed said, “All opposition leaders have accepted the massive rigging done in last general election, but are supporting prime minister and his government that has come into power by snatching people’s mandate.”
