KHAIRPUR: Sindh National Front leader Sardar Ameer Bux Bhutto has said that Prime Minister Mian Nawaz Sharif and Asif Ali Zardari are nothing but two sides of the same coin as both have ‘plundered’ the country’s wealth.

The country was deep in crisis but the two heads of the country’s major political parties were busy in playing politics, Mr Bhutto said while talking to reporters at Sirai Ghanwar Khan Mohalla here on Wednesday.

He said that after having enjoyed power to its fullest, Mr Zardari went abroad and suddenly remembered people when elections drew near.

Mr Zardari was now holding public gatherings in major cities appealing to people for votes but people had awakened and they would no longer be deceived by hollow promises, he said.

He said that Mr Sharif had reached the extreme limits of corruption for which he had been dragged into courts. The joint investigation team probe would soon make a decision in Panama Papers case although Mr Sharif’s supporters in the JIT would try their best to save him but he would not be able to escape this time round, he said.
