PPP Information Secretary Faisal Karim Kundi has rejected PTI leader Sher Afzal Marwat’s claims that Asif Ali Zardari was making attempts to reach out to the PTI.

Earlier today, Marwat said Zardari was trying to contact the PTI through “middlemen”.

However, in an interview with Geo News, Kundi rubbished these claims and said: “If this is the PTI’s official stance then a serious person should come forward and talk about it.”

The PPP leader stated that now that the PTI was “making up things” after realising that there was no way for it to form a government in the Centre. “If we had reached out to the PTI, we would have done it through a proper forum,” he added.
