Tit for tat: APML condemns Zardari's statement, accuses PPP of failing in Sindh

APML terms Zardari’s statement as "baseless, irrational and a reflection of PPP's insecurity"

ISLAMABAD:
The All Pakistan Muslim League (APML) on Monday condemned Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari's statement where he had accused former military ruler General (retd) Pervez Musharraf of conspiring to destabilise the Sindh government.

APML termed Zardari’s statement as "baseless, irrational and a reflection of PPP's insecurity."

In a statement, Musharraf's political advisor Chaudhry Sarfraz Anjum Kahlon, described Zardari's statement as "a strong reflection of the extensive inner frictions within PPP and the party's failure to meet the basic expectations of the Sindhi people."

"More than half a dozen leading PPP leaders had approached APML in recent months along with veteran Muslim League figures to discuss solutions to the prevailing national political conditions," Kahlon claimed.


"Rather than lashing out in insecurity, PPP should urgently focus upon improving governance in Sindh."

In a statement on Sunday Zardari had said that he had reasons to believe that General (retd) Pervez Musharraf was meeting certain elements seeking to destabilise the Sindh government.

Kahlon also had some words on Zardari's speech in Garhi Khuda Bukhsh on Saturday. The former president had blamed Musharraf for failing to take notice of former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto’s attackers.

"Zardari demonstrated no interest in seeking justice for the death of Bibi and at no point implemented a national counter-terrorism strategy,” Khalon said while criticising the five-year rule of PPP.
