Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Sindh General Secretary Senator Waqar Mehdi has strongly reacted to Jamaat-e-Islami chief Hafiz Naeemur Rehman\u2019s statement against PPP founder Z A Bhutto, terming it baseless allegation and a clear reflection of intellectual emptiness.
\nIn a statement, Senator Waqar Mehdi said that levelling allegations against Shaheed Zulfikar Ali Bhutto shows Hafiz Naeemur Rehman\u2019s ignorance of history. He alleged that Hafiz Naeemur was attempting to conceal his political failures through lies, double standards and irresponsible remarks.
\nThe PPP leader said that making baseless and offensive allegations against Shaheed Zulfikar Ali Bhutto was, in fact, an attack on Pakistan\u2019s Constitution and democratic system.
\nSenator Mehdi said that Shaheed Zulfikar Bhutto sacrificed his life for the country and the nation, while Jamaat-e-Islami, he alleged, was resorting to theatrics merely to gain cheap popularity.
\n\u201cThe Pakistan Peoples Party will not tolerate any disrespect towards Shaheed Bhutto and will respond at every front,\u201d he asserted.
\nHighlighting Jamaat-e-Islami\u2019s political past, Senator Waqar said that its leadership had supported the dictatorships of Ayub Khan, Yahya Khan and Zia-ul-Haq, and had consistently provided legitimacy to authoritarian regimes. He alleged that Jamaat-e-Islami benefited politically and financially during every period of dictatorship.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
