TAUNSA: Co-Chairman Pakistan Peoples? Party Asif Ali Zardari said on Tuesday that he hopes the general elections scheduled in the ongoing year are held on time.

Speaking to the press here, the former president said that how can the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz leader claim to be a victim while enjoying official security protocol.

?With six cars ahead, six cars behind his (Nawaz) vehicle, how can he claim himself to be a victim. We were the one who were victimized, we were taken into armed vehicle,? Zardari said. ?How can he be a victim when he has his government today?.

The PPP leader claimed that his party will be able to make government in Punjab. Taking a jibe at the government he said; ?Panama issue came from outside, it wasn?t started by former Ehtasaab Commission Chairman Saifur Rehman?.

'They do not care about Pakistan, they only care about Jati Umra,' the PPP co-chairman says

The former president said that there is a big difference between the India of Nehru and President Narendara Modi.

?I cant find secularism in Modi?s India,? he added.

"They [Pakistan Muslim League - Nawaz leaders] know that they can be disqualified anytime I wish to do so, but I just think for [the betterment] of Pakistan,? said Zardari.

The PPP co-chairman also thanked the attendees for showing solidarity with the Model Town incident victims and promised to get justice for the families of the deceased.
