In a video message, Zaidi affirmed his commitment to serving Pakistan and emphasised that his initial purpose for joining politics was to contribute to the betterment of the country.

“I have already condemned the May 9 incidents. Whatever happened was wrong, and all those responsible should be brought to justice regardless of who was involved in it,” he said, while emphasising the significance of the Pakistan Army. Zaidi expressed his belief that the Pakistan Army is a source of pride for the nation, stating, “We sleep peacefully because of them as they protect our borders.”
