KARACHI: A resolution condemning Pakistan People’s (PPP) Party Co-Chairman Asif Ali Zardari has been submitted in the Sindh Assembly on Monday for defending former Malir SSP [Senior Superintendent Police] Rao Anwar. The resolution was tabled by Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s (PTI) Khurram Sher Zaman in which, he criticised Zardari for calling Anwar, who killed innocent people in fake encounters, a “brave kid”. The resolution further demanded Zardari to apologise from the people of Karachi. “Out of total 54 SHOs, only one, Rao Anwar, survived the MQM when it came back into power,” Zardari had said. However, later a statement was issued by party Senator Farhatullah Babar which said that Asif Ali Zardari “regretted his remarks” which were “misspoken”.
