ISLAMABAD, Oct 31 (APP): Secretary Information, Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Fouzia Wahab on Saturday underlined the need to bring an end to politics of revenge saying, “it is necessary to end all political cases for strengthening democracy in the country”. She said PPP leadership rendered supreme sacrifices for strengthening of democracy and democratic institutions in the country, said a statement issued here.
She said PPP Co-Chairman, President Asif Ali Zardari, was implicated in false cases and remained behind the bars for eight years.
He was also subjected to severe torture during confinement and even an assassination attempt was made against him, she added.
Fouzia said the President could have registered a case against those who made this attempt but he followed a reconciliation policy devised by Shaheed Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto.
The President boldly faced allegations levelled against him and faced the false cases, she added.
Fouzia said that during a meeting with Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto in London, Mian Nawaz Sharif himself conceded that all the cases registered against Asif Zardari and other PPP leaders were political.
Even a prominent columnist in his column stated that Saifur Rehman also confessed that cases against him were based on revenge, she added.
She said opponent of National Reconciliation Ordinance (NRO) did not want to see reconciliation politics in the country.
She said that accountability laws enacted against PPP leadership were discriminatory, adding that under article 25 discrimination was made between a common man and political leadership.
She said that the people wanted to know why billions of rupees were spent on fake cases against PPP leaders and who should be held accountable for that.
Fouzia Wahab said that PPP wanted to introduce such legislation in the country which would bring an end to the cases based on politics of revenge.
She lauded those democratic forces which openly supported NRO in the teeth of negative propaganda of opponents of NRO.
