NAWABSHAH: Former president of Pakistan Asif Ali Zardari has said that he would not talk anymore about the JIT (joint investigation team) formed to probe the Sharifs as the matter was sub-judice and his party would share its stance once a decision was announced.

He was talking to party workers and notables from Nawabshah city and Sakrand town at Zardari House on Friday.

He further said Nawaz Sharif was an “ungrateful person” because the PPP brought amendment in the Constitution through parliament and removed Article 58(2)B, only after which he became prime minister for the third time. Otherwise he would have been sent home by President Mamnoon Hussain, he added.

Mr Zardari also said the field for elections was ready and asked party workers and the elected party representatives to prepare for elections and become active in their constituencies.

The PPP had always provided jobs and soon the Sindh government would give more jobs to the deserving youth on merit, he said.

Former Sindh chief minister Syed Qaim Ali Shah, PPP’s women wing president and MNA Faryal Talpur, MPA Ghulam Qadir Chandio, MPA Tariq Masood Arain, Ali Akbar Jamali, Haji Azeem Mughal, Khan Bahadur Bhatti, Syed Atif Hussain Zaidi, Rao Saif and others were also present.
