During an informal interaction with the media, deposed Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif had said that Asif Ali Zardari was giving statements against him to ‘please someone’.

Sharif said this after his hearing was adjourned in Islamabad High Court (IHC) today. “Zardari is doing all this to appease someone, isn’t it mockery of the democracy? He is doing nothing but some adventure,” he said.

Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) leader Khursheed Shah on Friday lashed back at Sharif to remind him who he was trying to appease when he had refused to meet Zardari.

In the National Assembly he said, “Mian sahab should say who he was trying to please then”. Shah also said that he had come to Sharif’s rescue just for the sake of safeguarding the democratic process and he would not be doing it again. He said he had advised Sharif numerous times to take parliament into confidence. “What goes around comes around,” Shah stated.

The two parties remain at par with each other regarding the political scenario of Pakistan. All attempts to bring the two parties together had failed as Foreign Minister Khawaja Asif could not establish a contact with PPP leader Zardari.
