Co-chairman of Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Asif Ali Zardari has hinted that neither his party will take any unconstitutional step nor become a part of any non-democratic move against the ruling Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) government. Addressing a news conference in Nawabshah on Thursday, Asif Ali Zardari said that the PPP is the founder of the 1973 Constitution; it will not support any non-democratic move.

"The Constitution does not mention any technocrat government," he maintained. Zardari further said, "I think that the elections of Senate will be held on time," adding, "I will contest election from Nawabshah if the party awards me the ticket."

The PPP co-chairman termed eight-year-old Zainab's murder as failure of the Punjab government. On the alliance with Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT) chief Tahirul Qadri, Zardari said his party will join the protest announced by the former, demanding resignations of the provincial chief minister and law minister.
