Former Pakistani President Zardari tells Imran Khan "Running the country is not as easy as playing cricket"

- Speaking on the 13th death anniversary of Benazir Bhutto

Islamabad 28th December 2020 Monday

Former President Asif Ali Zardari has slammed Pakistan's Prime Minister Imran Khan for saying that running the country is not as easy as playing cricket.

Speaking at a function marking the 13th death anniversary of his late wife and caretaker Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto, Zardari said the current leaders do not have the mentality needed to run the country.

Opposition groups in Pakistan have been rallying against Imran Khan for some time now. All oppositions believe that Imran Khan is a puppet of the Pakistani army. It has no administrative capacity. Due to its incompetence, Pakistan has become a laughing stock in Jagchauta and has lost friends like Saudi Arabia.

Almost every week the opposition holds a public meeting in one place or another which is attended by thousands of people. Nabiras of the Bhutto family as well as other former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif's family members also addressed the gathering, harshly criticizing Imran Khan. A Pakistani court has declared Nawaz a fugitive in connection with the ongoing case against Nawaz Sharif and initiated the extradition ceremony with Britain.

Zardari had openly challenged Imran to hold elections if he had the courage. People will automatically prove who they are with. The Opposition has been holding rallies and rallies since October 16. Such places included Peshawar, Gujranwala, Karachi, Quetta, Multan and Lahore. Due to the mismanagement of Imran Khan, the prices of essential commodities in Pakistan have skyrocketed. Wheat flour was sold at Rs. 80 and wheat at Rs. 100 more. The incompetence of the government on the one hand and the attacks of terrorist organizations on the other were thus crushing the people on both sides.

Thousands of people spontaneously throng rallies and rallies organized by the opposition and shout anti-Imran Khan slogans. Pakistan's military chief General Bajwa's warning of dire consequences has had no effect on the opposition. Opposition also rejected Bajwa's invitation to discuss.
