Islamabad: With the possible return of former Pakistani president Asif Ali Zardari to the country on December 23, ending his self-exile in what appears to be changing political environment in post-November 30 scenario, the political activities are likely to shift to Sindh from the Punjab, as PPP worked out duo-strategy to increase pressure on Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif. PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto, while announcing the return of the party’s co-chairman, dispelled the impression that his return has to do, with any changes made last month or an understanding with the government. “He has been declared fit to travel by doctors and his presence means a lot at a time when the PPP is going to launch movement for its four demands,” he said.
With Zardari’s return, not only politics would shift to Sindh but within Sindh also he would also like to fire the shot
Sindh government, with many changes on the card. Sacking Sindh IG AD Khawaja appears to be the first action, and more will follow. Zardari, who went into self-exile in 2015, after his hard hitting speech against the establishment and without naming the former army chief, retired General Raheel Sharif, his outburst came following the arrest and action against some of his close friends and government officials.
