PESHAWAR, Oct 2: Pakistan People’s Party provincial president Syed Zahir Ali Shah has criticised former president Pervez Musharraf for spreading disinformation about the incumbent government, saying he is unable to get any important role in the main stream politics.

In a statement issued here on Saturday, he said that the government was successfully functioning and army was also playing its role within the constitutional framework for protection and welfare of the people.

“By spreading disinformation Musharraf cannot make a ‘position’ for himself,” he said. He added that he should not expect from the army to topple the elected government.

Mr Shah said that the peoples’ memory was not so weak and they still knew what joke Musharraf played with them during his prolonged tenure.

He asked Musharrat to come to the country and lead his party to know as to who were his supporters.

He said that PPP had always played its role for restoration of democracy and worked against dictators but it never bowed to any pressure. He said that intriguers always hatched conspiracies against his party’s government.

“No one has gifted the government to us but it is the result of the sacrifices rendered by Bhutto family and hundreds of the party workers,” he said and added that his party would never let anyone take unconstitutional step against the government.
