Sharif's mindset like Mullah Omar: Zardari

June 22, 2011 15:37

President Asif Ali Zardari has accused former premier Nawaz Sharif of trying to pit the ruling Pakistan People's Party against the powerful military and said he would not allow this to happen.

Launching a blistering attack against main opposition PML-N chief, Zardari described him as a 'moulvi' inspired by the divisive politics of late military ruler Zia-ul-Haq.

He also alleged that Sharif had sympathies for militants involved in insurgency across Pakistan as he equated the PML-N chief's mindset with that of Afghan Taliban leader Mullah Omar.
