In a recent public meeting in Vehari, President Asif Ali Zardari reiterated his criticism of political opponents, particularly targeting former Prime Minister Imran Khan, whom he accused of causing stagnation in Pakistan's progress over the past four years. Zardari stated, "If you don’t want to remain in jail, you had to become Mother Teresa or would have held some responsibility in cricket," highlighting his own lengthy incarceration and contrasting it with Khan's current situation. He emphasized the need for political resilience and collaboration with leaders like Shehbaz Sharif and Maryam Nawaz, suggesting that conditions are improving for political dialogue. Additionally, during his visit to Rahim Yar Khan, Zardari expressed support for the establishment of a new province, arguing that it is essential for development and better governance in South Punjab, which he framed as a crucial step for public welfare and administrative reforms. This support for a new province marks a significant political announcement that could reshape regional governance dynamics in Pakistan.
