“Neither is the government going to continue, nor can it run the country,” he said at an event held by the PPP-Parliamentarians.
Attendees at the event also passed a resolution, the contents of which, among other things, stated that the incumbent government’s incompetence has been laid bare in a short time.
He also claimed that the PPP delivered in its five years of government.
Responding to a question, the former president said that never benefited from the National Reconciliation Order (NRO) and that all cases against him were reopened.
