Zardari has failed as PPP leader: Munter

WASHINGTON: Former US ambassador to Pakistan Cameron Munter has said that there is no more Bhutto in the Pakistan People’s Party now and President Asif Ali Zardari has failed as party chief and the president.

At a press briefing, the ex ambassador said that Nawaz Sharif has emerged as a strong leader and he had yet to decid whether he wanted to indulge in political wrangling or focus on economy, good governance and improving relations with India.

He said that rigging in recent polls showed violation of rules and regulations. Speaking on the occasion, Denial Markey, an expert on Pakistan affairs, said that the elections had further pushed the country into ethnic divide.

Both the speakers rejected a US newspaper reports that US had played any role in Nawaz Sharif victory against his political rival Imran Khan.
