Zardari sees hidden forces working against Govt

LARKANA—The PPP Co-Chairman, Asif Ali Zardari has said that some hidden forces and conspiring elements are engaged in machinations for the downfall of present coalition government. Addressing a press conference at Bhutto House Naudero on Saturday, Asif Zardari said that coalition partners are working out a strategy to oust the President.
“If we don’t succeed, Landhi Jail would be the destination for two coalition parties”, he said and added that he and Nawaz Sharif held talks in Lahore for two days in an endeavour to sort out the issues through reconciliation. “Dialogue is continuing and our coalition is intact”, the PPP Co-chairperson said.
He said that Benazir Bhutto had left her will to keep Pakistan intact and, therefore, on the day of her soyem, he had raised the slogan “we want Pakistan’. “We will fully observe the will of Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto which is a beacon of light for us”.
Mr Zardari said that still we are fighting against undemocratic elements and the day is not far off when like Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani,” our worker will be the President of Pakistan raising slogan of Jiay Bhutto”. He pointed out that differences do occur in a house between two brothers and families and we both coalition partners too have differences but these would be resolved soon and bring a consensus President after the slot goes vacant.
“We will make Pakistan prosperous and make Larkana and Naudero model district and town”. To a question Asif Zardari said that UN has been approached with the request for an inquiry into the assassination of Benazir Bhutto and our UN Ambassador is quite active in this regard while he himself is lobbying in a the matter and has contacted with Turkey and other friendly countries, who have assured of their cooperation.
