Shortly after Information Minister Fawad Chaudhry announced that the federal cabinet has decided to place on the ECL all 172 suspects named in a joint investigation team's report in the fake bank accounts case, Zardari, who is named in the aforesaid JIT report, went on the offensive, saying: "Today, the thugs of the ladla have challenged us. We are not afraid of their tactics.
"As far as Bilawal [Bhutto] is concerned, he is mine and BB's son: how can you scare him?" he asked.
Zardari, who made scarce mention of his slain wife in a speech meant to mark Benazir Bhutto's 11th death anniversary in Garhi Khuda Bukhsh, criticised the incumbent PTI government and claimed that they pale in comparison to the performance of the PPP government.
"They did nothing in their 100 days," he said, reminding the party supporters that he had ousted General Musharraf, "launched the Benazir [Income Support Programme] card" in his first 100 days.
"They will be unable to run the country despite foreign support by friendly countries," he said.
PPP chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari, after paying homage to his late mother, echoed his father's sentiments as he too promised to "fight the lies and controversies" against his family.
Bilawal wondered if Prime Minister Imran Khan is aware "how weak the federation's foundations are right now", warning that "a single spark can turn everything into a heap of ash."
