Opposition running 'vilification campaign' against me, PPP: Zardari | Coming down hard on opponents for representing the Presidency in bad light, Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari has said the opposition parties were carrying out a 'vilification campaign' against him. Zardari said the Pakistan
People's Party (PPP) would not be deterred by any such propaganda and continue
to march forward to achieve its objectives. During a meeting of the party's central
executive committee, Zardari's spokesperson Farhatullah Babar said the PPP would
continue to work for the people of the country. "No matter what our opponents
said and no matter how much the party leadership was subjected to a campaign of
vilification, the party will not be deterred and will continue its forward march
in the service of the people," Babar quoted Zardari, as saying. "Some people write
our obituaries almost daily but the more they write our obituaries the more they
are disappointed and frustrated. I salute the party, its workers and the people.
We have stood together in the past and will stand together in the future as well,"
Zardari added. The meeting, which continued late in the night, discussed various
issues, including the current political scenario, the controversial National Reconciliation
Ordinance (NRO). It may be noted that the PPP had first decided to table the NRO
in parliament, but was forced to revert its decision after coalition partners
Muttahida Qaumi Movement, Awami National Party and Jamiat Ulema-i-Islam-F decided
to oppose the ordinance. Babar said Zardari believed that the people of the country
voted the PPP to power. "The PPP was not given political victories by anyone as
charity, but had triumphed politically with the help of the people of all provinces,"
The Dawn quoted Zardari, as saying. He said the 'vilification campaign' targeted
against the PPP was aimed at weakening it politically, and added: "Those hoping
to weaken the party were living in a fool's paradise." |
