Now, PPP co-chairman Asif Zardari in his recent interview in a TV programme reportedly defended the absconding police officer speaking of his bravery, back in the days of an operation against the MQM. Already the PPP and some of its representatives had been linked to Anwar, and now this reported statement by Zardari establishes the connection more openly.

These reported statements show defiance of the law and protection of an officer allegedly found involved in hundreds of encounters.
