Amin Fahim breaks the ice, ultimately

Breaking the ice after months’ silence, PPP veteran leader Makhdoom Amin Fahim Tuesday said that Asif Ali Zardari was an elected president and he cannot be removed on the desire of any body. 

“The only constitutional way to ouster the president is impeachment but nobody has any reason to impeach Asif Ali Zardari,” Fahim said while talking to the media in front of the Parliament House.

In his rare assertion in favor of party’s co-chairman after several months’ silence, Fahim said that Asif Ali Zardari was elected by parliament, which picked up by the masses through votes.

“Those political parties that want to send the government and the president home, should contact the masses instead of other forces,” Fahim maintained. He went on to say that some forces were hatching conspiracies against President
Zardari since his election as president.

He asserted that the people would decide the future of the PPP and the president in the next general elections. “It is right of the masses to choose their representatives not of any individual or a party,” Fahim maintained.

To a question, the PPP’s leader said that the demand of new elections in the country was worthless and unjustified. “The government and parliament should complete their constitutional terms,” he added.

The minister said that mandate of the people should be honoured and elections must be held as per schedule. “There will be dire consequences if the system is being derailed,” he warned.

Rejecting the impression of clash between the government and other states’ institution, Amin said, “Nothing will go wrong if all the institutions move in right direction.”

To another query, he said current crisis in the country including financial crunch, shortage of energy and inflation would be addressed soon. “The government is aware about the problems of the people and it is working for the betterment
of the masses.
