Islamabad: Federal Minister for Information and Broadcasting Dr Firdous Ashiq Awan has dispelled the media reports about President Asif Ali Zardari targeting Mian Sharif, father of Nawaz Sharif and Shahbaz Sharif.
Speaking to media on Friday, she said that the president didn’t speak about Mian Sharif and reports regarding it were completely false and baseless.
She said that the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) and Asif Ali Zardari had a lot of respect for Mian Sharif and the president offered Fateha at his grave during his visit to Raiwind.
When asked about PPP opposition leader Raja Riaz who told media on Thursday about Zardari speaking about Mian Sharif funeral, Awan said that if Riaz did so an explanation would be sought by the party.
She said that the PPP believe in policy of reconciliation and condemned remarks against elders.
