KARACHI: Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) co-chairman and former president of Pakistan, Asif Ali Zardari on Monday said his party is standing with Pakistan Army and termed Chief of Army Staff (COAS) Gen Raheel Sharif’s decision of refusing extension in service premature.
In a statement issued here, he said Pakistan was facing a multitude of different challenges as criminal gangs and separatists were hatching conspiracies to destabilize the country with the help of their foreign handlers.
The statement comes against the backdrop of news reports from earlier in the day regarding likely arrests of some high-profile personalities in the next few days in connection with the detained leader of People's Aman Committee (PAC), Uzair Baloch.
According to sources, the arrested Lyari gangster has made some important revelations to the Joint Interrogation Team (JIT) formed to investigate Baloch, who is currently in Rangers’ custody for 90 days.
Sources said the Sindh Rangers have also summoned estranged PPP leader Zulfiqar Mirza, who was known to have close ties with the PAC leader when he served as Sindh home minister.
