Newly-appointed Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) South Punjab President Makhdoom Shahabuddin told party workers in a public gathering at Mianwali Qureshian on Sunday that President Asif Ali Zardari had won the hearts of the people of southern Punjab by bifurcating and establishing a separate organisation of the PPP in southern Punjab. He said the decision would help strengthen the party in this part of the country. The PPP would have better results in future in southern Punjab, he added.
He thanked the president for giving the right of representation to the people of southern Punjab and for expressing confidence in him and appointing him the regional president of the party. He said the PPP was a popular party in the country and would sweep the next general elections on the basis of its performance. He said the PPP would create a Saraiki province and give due rights to the people of the province. The PPP leader said construction of the Benazir Shaheed Bridge would begin in the current month. After completion of the project, people of Chachran Sharif and Kot Mithan would be linked, he added.
