Shah Mehmood Qureshi says Imran Khan is following in the footsteps of Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto

Shah Mehmood Qureshi, the vice President of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf, claimed that Imran Khan is following the footsteps of Shaheed Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto more than anyone.

It is worth highlighting here that these remarks came into the surface when Bilwal Bhutto, the grandson of Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto, is mulling to join the mainstream politics.

Shah Mehmood Qureshi fixed his guns on President Asif Ali Zardari saying that the current Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) is far from the vision of Bhutto. In his view, Asif Ali Zardari has completely abandoned the party from its founder’s vision.

He was speaking to the media in Multan where 12 local leaders of PPP joined hands with the PTI. He stated that Asif Ali Zardari had never worked according to the vision of Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto, as he (president) follows the ideology and vision of the United
States.

He maintained, “It is Imran Khan who is following Bhutto’s ideology, to support the people as real power lies with the people. It is the power of the people which empowers us”.

Qureshi, who has also worked as a foreign minister in the recent past, came forward to defend the Supreme Court’s verdicts over National Reconciliation Ordinance (NRO) and controversial memogate scandal. He underlined that the PTI will protect the decisions
of judiciary in latter and spirit.

He expressed his fears saying that the government can attack the judiciary and the Supreme Court in order to take decisions in its favour.  

Qureshi, in the meantime, targeted Prime Minister Syed Yousaf Raza Gilani for using power tactics to grab the support for his son. Gilani has been pressurising local leaders and representatives of local bodies to earn their support, he added.

He added, “They are purchasing major political figures and wasting money belonging to the people of Pakistan on a campaign to win elections in NA 148”.

Qureshi further informed that the PTI’s rally of December 25 will prove their worth in the mega city of Karachi.

He also reiterated that he will disclose the threats to the Pakistan’s nuclear system under the rule of President Asif Ali Zardari. In his view Zardari is a real threat to the sovereignty of the country.

He also claimed that people will witness that interior Sindh will show its support with PTI on December 25. Although Qureshi is making tall claims, the picture will be cleared when they will go into the elections.
