Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari has said, referring to the previous marshal laws in the country, that Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif's government is better than dictatorship.
According to the Express Tribune, Zardari said that the PPP would not become a part of the conspiracy to derail democracy while the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has stepped up pressure on the government for an audit of the 2013 elections.
Zardari's comments came at a ceremony marking the party's 47th foundation day at Bilawal House, Lahore.
The PPP workers were shouting "Go nawaz, Go" and "Ro Imran, Ro" as Zardari started the speech.
Pakistani Chief Ministers, Rehman Malik, Manzoor Wassan, Qamar Zaman Kaira, Sindh Syed Qaim Ali Shah, Mehreen Raja and Raja Riaz were also present at the ceremony.
