Zardari said, “I had told [Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz President] Shehbaz Sharif to become the prime minister. I had told him that I have 70 votes. I had offered Shehbaz Sharif to be the PM. I remained in contact with the allies and I knew well that they will back me.”

“Allies are sure about me that I will fulfil my promises. Hatred is not with Imran Khan but for his thoughts. Bilawal Bhutto Zardari used to take the whole CEC [central executive committee] along with him before giving go-ahead for a policy. CEC will decide on making Bilawal.”

The politician said, “Horse-trading should be eliminated. How someone can buy Mengal and Magsi? It was my relations that worked out. Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) should have returned to the National Assembly. It is very difficult to get 2/3 majority in the parliament in today’s Pakistan.”
