The latest development in the political discourse in Pakistan involves President Asif Ali Zardari's remarks about the imprisonment of political leaders, specifically targeting PTI founder Imran Khan. During a gathering in Rahim Yar Khan, Zardari criticized Khan for complaining about jail conditions, stating, "A leader sometimes says his eyesight is affected, sometimes that milk is not available or insufficient," as reported by ARY News. Zardari contrasted this with his own experience, having spent 14 years in jail, which he described as a place for worship and reflection, emphasizing that true leaders endure hardships without complaint (Dawn, February 15, 2026). This narrative underscores Zardari's belief in resilience and sacrifice as essential qualities of leadership, a sentiment echoed across multiple sources including BOL News and Dunya News.
