Zardari should step down: Shahbaz

LAHORE: Punjab chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif addressing the PML-N rally protesting loadshedding and inflation called upon President Zardari to resign, Geo News reported.

"Step down Zardari and hand over your money otherwise we will hang you and your cronies upside down here," cried Shahbaz Sharif while addressing the crowd.

Sharif said Zardari was depositing the nation’s wealth in Swiss bank accounts and the time had come for him to be held accountable for his actions.

Sharif sent a message to President Zardari that he “could not buy PML-N workers.”

Sharif added that during the tenure of this government PIA and Pakistan Railways had been ruined and officials in the government were highly corrupt.

“If we can defeat Dengue, Zardari we can defeat you” Sharif said adding that the president was not aware of the people’s problems and was only concerned about accumulating wealth.

Sharif was addressing the participants of the PML-N rally gathered at Bhati Gate. The rally started from the historic Nasser Bagh earlier on Friday and was led by prominent PML-N leaders.
