Asif Ali Zardari said that Peoples Party always faced unfair treatment in elections, yet it came to contest the next elections with a renewed determination every time.

“And the skipper is raising hue and cry just because of a single election,” he said. “We never did the politics of five years, nor did we focus on winning or losing the polls.”

“We always thought of Pakistan’s future and its betterment,” the ex-president added.

Speaking about agreements with China, he said that this is all an outcome of Peoples Party’s initiative and assured that his party will not let these pacts politicized.
