I will fire 'political weapons' to thwart threats against Govt: Zardari | Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari has said that he has some 'political weapons', which he could use to thwart threats facing the democratic government. In an interview with a private
television channel, Zardari said there are some 'political actors' who are working
against the government and hatching conspiracies against it to destabilise the
country. Responding to question, Zardari said political forces wanted civilian
control over the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), but it would remain under
military control for the time being. "The political forces want that the ISI should
be brought under the civilian control, but for the time being, this matter has
been shelved.The establishment is the name of a perception, which works in different
ways. It (establishment) appears sometimes in the shape of Leghari and sometimes
as Roedad Khan," The News quoted Zardari, as saying. When asked that whether he
feels that his life is under threat, he said such threats can not be ruled out.
"I know my popularity graph is going down,but if we do not take some harsh decisions
at this moment, our next generation will not forgive us," Zardari added. Zardari
reiterated that there were intelligence reports that the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan
(TTP) chief Baitullah Mehsud , who was killed in a US drone attack earlier this
year, was behind the assassination of former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto. |
