ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – In an apprent verbal onslaught on the PTI-led government, Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) chairman and former president Asif Ali Zardari on Friday said ‘deaf, mute and blind people are sitting in Islamabad.’
"What sin have we committed?" asked Asif Zardari while addressing a public gathering in Ghotki. He said a nation that is united and aware of its rights cannot be made to back down.
"No one can scare your leadership," Zardari told participants.
He said a country only becomes stronger when its people are happy and it is his PPP’s philosophy to give rights to the poor first.
