Former President and opposition Pakistan Peoples Party co-chairperson Asif Ali Zardari on Thursday asked his supporters to \u201cmarch towards Islamabad\u201d and topple Prime Minister Imran Khan\u2019s government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Addressing a rally at Garhi Khuda Baksh in Larkana on the 40th death anniversary of former prime minister and PPP founder Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto, Zardari said it was time for the Khan\u2019s government to go.\u201cWe cannot give them more time. We have to march towards Islamabad to oust the government to save this country,\u201d Zardari said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Earlier in the day, the Islamabad High Court issued a notice to Zardari on a petition seeking his disqualification as a lawmaker for hiding assets worth over USD 1 million including a flat in New York and bulletproof vehicles in the election nomination papers last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The petition was filed by the ruling Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf leaders Khurram Sher Zaman and Usman Dar.Zardari told the crowd that Khan as prime minister has sent Pakistan 50 years back with his economic policies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThat\u2019s why they are lodging cases against us. At the time, some friends believed me and some people made fun.\u201d \u201cNow you have seen that the \u2018selected\u2019 prime minister\u2019s has burst. He said he does not have funds. If you can\u2019t collect funds through the FBR then leave,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Zardari, his son and PPP co-chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari, and his other close associates and business partners are facing money laundering and corruption charges from the National Accountability Bureau and the arrest of the former president and other key figures appears likely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThey don\u2019t care about the poor. We can\u2019t give them more time, we have to march to Islamabad for the sake of the country,\u201d he added.In his speech, Bilawal asked why justice for Bhutto\u2019s \u201cjudicial murder\u201d has not been served despite four decades having passed by.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bhutto, the father-in-law of Zardari and father of Pakistan\u2019s slain Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto, was hanged in jail on April 4, 1979 on court orders in a murder case. \u201cToday is the 40th year of Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto\u2019s judicial murder,\u201d Bilawal said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
