Became president to send Musharraf packing: Zardari

KARACHI: Pakistan People’s Party co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari on Wednesday said that when he became a president some people wanted him to be a prime minister instead, adding that he became a president to send former military ruler Pervez Musharraf home.

The former president was addressing party leaders in Lahore. “Will visit every village in Punjab and share meals with Jiyalas,” he said.

He said that he will thrash Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz with the party’s power and enthusiasm of Jiyalas.

“I have come out, won’t allow RO elections in Punjab,” he said regarding the next general elections in 2018.
