Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Punjab executive council, endorsing the demand of a separate South Punjab province, has pledged full support to the cause.
The newly elected PPP Punjab executive council and Finance Committee members in their maiden meeting held at a local hotel on Monday unanimously adopted the point of view, adding that PPP would continue to lead the masses sincerely.
PPP Punjab President Imtiaz Safdar Warraich said PPP wanted the people of South Punjab to get their due rights, adding that PML-N’s allegation that it was doing so to garner votes was false.
He said when Rs 75 billion would be allocated for one district and the others would be ignored, people would feel a sense of deprivation.
PPP always supported the members of Punjab assembly whenever they raised voice for the rights of south Punjab, he added. He asked all the PPP workers to be united to face all the challenges. He said PML-N’s Javed Hashmi was asking for the division of Punjab also.
