He said the laptops distribution is political campaign. He termed insult of President Zardari as humiliation of 190 million people of Pakistan. He said if the PML-N did not like President Zardari, it should bring impeachment motion but it could not do so as it lacks majority in National Assembly and the Senate. He said that had they support of Intelligence Bureau during Governor Rule, Nawaz Sharif would not have been able to come out of his house. He said the PML-N tried to ridicule public mandate through Mehran Bank. He said those who are criticising the federal government should keep in mind that development projects had been given to the provinces after 18th Amendment. He said that those who had not voted for Aslam Gill had in fact committed treachery with the blood of Benazir Bhutto. He added that it was not right to blame him for the defeat of Aslam Gil.

He criticised Election Commission of Pakistan and added that facts would to surface after committed headed by the President’s sister completes investigation. Khosa said that Bneazir foregetting past atrocities of the PML-N signed Charter of Democracy with Nawaz Sharif in 2006 which was basically aimed at stabilising democracy. He regretted that those who signed CoD later expelled our ministers and launched an unending propaganda.
