DUBAI (Web Desk) – Former president and Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Co-Chairperson Asif Ali Zardari on Monday said that mockery in the name of ‘peace peace’ in Karachi should stop now.

Zardari‘s remarks come at a time when the authorities have intensified their crackdown on corrupt officials in Sindh province.
His close aide and former petroleum minister Dr Asim Hussain was arrested from the office of High Education Commission in Clifton on August 26 this year over alleged involvement in "terror and violence financing, misappropriation of funds for enhancing support for terrorism and other criminal activites".
Earlier in August, an anti-corruption court issued an arrest warrant for former prime minister Yousaf Raza Gilani, in a case alleging millions of dollars of graft in a trade development scheme.
The cases are the first of their kind against the PPP in a sweeping crackdown on violence and corruption spearheaded by the military this year. The military says the crackdown is necessary to break the cycle of corruption and violence in Karachi.
