Lahore: Former President and Pakistan Peoples’ Party co-Chairman Asif Ali Zardari dispelled notion that Pakistan spends significant amount on military expenditures, saying that such claims were mere propaganda.

“Military’s expenditures are not that significant undue propaganda is done over it,” he said while addressing electoral candidates from Central Punjab at Bilawal House here.

He said that there is solution for everything in politics. “Those who are not skilled in politics don’t have solutions that is why they don’t allow things to happen.”

Urging workers to be patient in tough times, Zardari said that soon it will bear fruit that will alleviate all sorrows and pains. “They cannot make election happen in two months, elections will take place when I decide.”

“PPP and I have always struggled. Workers should be patient because fruit of patience is something you cannot even imagine. All sorrows and pains will fade away.” He mentioned that during his 14 years in prison, he studied numerous books on economy. “I proposed solutions during my era, which led to our foreign exchange reserves reaching $ 24 billion. Insha Allah, I will manage country’s economy and raise foreign exchange reserves to $ 100 billion.”

Former President Zardari seems much energetic in motivating and boosting the confidence of the workers and party leaders ahead of general elections.
