I Am Also A Human Being...
"I am going with the satisfaction that whatever I could do for this nation,for the people, I did it with all my honesty and integrity."

This is my heartfelt sorrow, I am verysad.  I am sad that Pakistan is going down fast, poor people are beingpressed by price hikes. I pray that this government will provide relief topeople."

'False Allegations'
"Some elements have given preface to their own interests rather thanthe nation. False allegations were filed against me and they tried to turn truthinto lies and they tried to deceive the people.

"They said that during the last nine years our economic problems andelectricity shortages were due to our policies. It is absolutely wrong anddeception for the country.

"They never realised that they could be successful against me, but theynever thought how detrimental it would be for the country.

Impeachment
"Now they (the ruling coalition) want to impeach me. Why? Because theywant to hide their mistakes."

"No charge sheet can stand against me, no charge can be proved against me,because I never did anything for myself, it was all for Pakistan."

"To impeach is parliament's prerogative and to answer it is my right. Ibelieve in myself and I have faith in my god, Allah, that no charge sheet canstand against me. Not a single charge can be proved against me because I neverdid anything for myself. Whatever I did was for Pakistan first. That was mymotto."
