Pakistan People's Party Parliamentarians (PPP-P) president Asif Ali Zardari on Tuesday said it was not up to him to decide that who joins the party, while answering a question about Irfanullah Marwat's inclusion in PPP.

"The decision, [to bring Irfanullah Marwat to the party] is not mine, the party's board will decide if he should join us or not," Zardari said while addressing a press conference in Hub, Balochistan.

Both Zardari's daughters, Bakhtawar and Aseefa Bhutto, have been opposed to the idea of Marwat's inclusion into PPP, while Bilawal also told the media on February 27 that a meeting was just conducted with Marwat, but no decision about his inclusion in PPP has been made as yet.

Discussing the state of the province Zardari said, "Balochistan is still standing where we had left it, even though numerous relief packages were announced for the the province, no development is to be seen in the region."

When asked about the motive of his visit to Balochistan, the former president said, "I have come for condolence here, why would I talk about politics at this point. This is not the day for politics today I have come to console them."

Commenting on the government's insistence to hold the Pakistan Super League final in Lahore, Zardari said: "Conducting the PSL final in Lahore is a security concern. The government wants to conduct the final in Lahore just to prove that the city is safe."

Asif Ali Zardari had returned to Pakistan on February 16 amid much speculation about the motive of his return.
