'Misuse' of military courts: Zardari fears he, along with Nawaz, may be imprisoned

The 7th death anniversary of former Prime Minister and Chairperson of PPP Benazir Bhutto was observed across the country with great reverence on Saturday. Party leaders and workers paid rich tributes to their martyred leader for her services to the country and party. A large number of party jiyalas from all over the country visited the mausoleum of their leader at Garhi Khuda Bakhsh and offered Fateha.
However, according to eyewitnesses, the number of people at the gathering than smaller in the past and the young workers missed their chairperson Bilawal Bhutto Zardari at a highly important event. Addressing the function marking the martyrdom of Benazir Bhutto, former president and co-chairman Pakistan People's Party (PPP) Asif Zardari said that he has been trained by Benazir Bhutto and expressed his resolve to continue standing up for what is right. He said they would continue to fight to make this country stronger.
He warned that under the new law of military courts one cannot rule out the possibility of both him and Prime Minister Nawaz ending up behind bars. He said it must be ensured that the law of military courts does not take the shape of a 'black law' in future.
The PPP Co-chairman said: "We will accept the new law after it is ensured that tomorrow it is not used against any democratic party or a journalist." He said from the Zia era till today he and his party had always stood against all kinds of atrocities. "No terrorist can scare us under any situation and we will wage a war for the cause of protecting our rights," he vowed. Zardari said the last time this law was enacted the result was that 'we were all in jails'. He once again dispelled the impression that there was some kind of a misunderstanding between him and the PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari.
Reassuring that no cracks have appeared in the integrity of party leadership, Asif Ali Zardari vehemently dismissed reports that his son Bilawal Bhutto Zardari was angry with him over certain political decisions. "There is no truth in the rumours, propagandised by our rivals, that I and Bilawal are drifting apart," Zardari said.
Zardari also denied reports that senior party leader Makhdoom Amin Fahim was angry with the decisions of party leadership. He said Amin Fahim would never indulge in treason with the party. Delivering an impassioned speech, the widower of BB, said that had the carnage of jiyalas in Karachi been taken seriously back in the day, a tragedy like Peshawar school massacre would not have come to pass today. He said that they do not understand the difference between 'good' Taliban and 'bad' Taliban. Zardari also said that Benazir had demanded separation between Afghan and Kashmir jihad. He said only those would be buried in Garhi Khuda Bakhsh who had led the PPP and he would also be buried there.
PPP workers and leaders also held a function at Liaquat Bagh in Rawalpindi where their leader was assassinated by terrorists. They offered Fateha and showered petals at the site. Meetings were also held at district, divisional and provincial headquarters of PPP to pay homage to Benazir Bhutto.
