LAHORE – Jamaat-e-Islami Secretary General Liaquat Baloch has said that Asif Ali Zardari is a disputed person who is continuing as Co-Chairman of the PPP while holding the office of the President despite court orders.
Addressing the participants of JI central workshop at Mansoora, on Sunday, he said there was more hatred against the PPP and Asif Ali Zardari in Sindh as compared to the other provinces and people there were pulling down the PPP tri-colour from their rooftops and vehicles. No body could play the Sindh card in future, he added.
The JI Secretary General said memo gate scandal was the product of US mind and aimed at creating differences between the Pakistani people in order to prove this country a failed state. He said the masses were also losing faith in the judiciary for delay in the action against more than four thousand target killers and extortionists belonging to the MQM even after the scrapping of the NRO. He said the nation wanted to know from the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court why the target killers and extortionists were still at large and why cases against them were not being reopened.
He said JI was in contact with the political parties and all its options including that of seat adjustment were open. On the issue of MMA revival, he said, “we would have to take the nation in confidence after making amends for the past lapses”.  He said the present situation called for setting up of an independent Election Commission to hold fresh elections under an interim government as the people wanted a change.
