PMLN thinks CPEC is a scheme for taking loans, says Zardari

Former president and Pakistan People's Party (PPP) co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari, addressing a rally at Lahore’s historic Mochi Gate on Monday, vowed that the next general elections will be fair and no one will go home without casting vote.

The PPP held a public gathering in Lahore to express its support for the struggle of Kashmiris against Indian brutality.

While addressing the gathering, Zardari said: "Today I am standing at a place where in the past renowned leaders such as Muhammad Ali Jinnah, Liaquat Ali Khan, Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto and Benzair Bhutto had stood."

The former president, referring to the PML-N, said: “Mian Sahab, you no longer rule in Balochistan.” 

Zardari said that the PML-N leaders do not comprehend the idea of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC).

“They think it is a scheme for taking loans,” he added.

He went on to say that the PPP leaders faced jails for the sake of democracy.

While referring to the occupied valley, Zardari said ‘Kashmir is our jugular vein’.
