ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Co-Chairman and former president Asif Ali Zardari on Sunday said his party had reasons to believe that former dictator General (retd) Pervez Musharraf was meeting with certain elements seeking to destabilise the Sindh government.

In a statement, Zardari asked democratic political parties to take notice of the alleged conspiracy to destabilise the Sindh govt by some elements.

The former president also warned that the PPP would never permit any such attempt to succeed.

Zardari also said that the party was a united political force and those seeking to topple the provincial govt through horse trading would not succeed in their designs. He also rejected reports of frictions within the party.

Earlier on Saturday, while speaking at the Bhutto mausoleum in Garhi Khuda Bakhsh to mark Benazir Bhutto's death anniversary, the former president dismissed reports of differences with his son Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari.

The PPP Co-Chairman said that the rumors were being circulated by competitors.
