"She's too great for me to be Sonia," he told Karan Thapar for Devil's Advocate programme when asked whether he intended to play a role like Congress president Sonia Gandhi in India.

"I don't want to be above the government, I want to be with the government, supporting the government," said Zardari, husband of the slain former Premier Benazir Bhutto.

Pakistan People's Party (PPP), which emerged as the largest group in the February 18 general election, is set to form a coalition government with parties like PML-N and ANP.

Asked what would be his role in the new government, Zardari said, "Well, I'll take a leaf out of your politics and do something like an inter-political role. Talking to the allied parties, making democracy come alive."
