Gilani’s win speaks volumes: Zahid Abbas Shah

Frankfurt: President Pakistan People’s Party, Germany Zahid Abbas Shah congratulated former prime minister Yousaf Raza Gilani on winning the Senate polls for Islamabad general seat.

The defeat of the government candidate had foiled the conspiracy to impose the agenda of the International Monetary Fund on the country, he said in a statement.

Shah said the PTI wanted to strengthen the monopoly of the IMF, but the scrupulous and honest lawmakers thwarted the bid.

“The government secured loan from the IMF over tough conditions and the defeat of ruling party candidate was a no-confidence in the policies of the rulers,” he said.

He added: “This government has lost the confidence of the lawmakers as well as the common people,” he remarked.
