The Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Punjab chapter, in response to Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) President Nawaz Sharif’s speech at Larkana, said that he was trying to win sympathies of Sindhis by making false accusations.
Hitting back at Nawaz regarding his remarks on the failure of the federal government to arrest former PM and PPP chairperson Benazir Bhutto’s killers, PPP Punjab General Secretary Samiullah Khan said that on one hand, Nawaz was expressing affection with Benazir while on the other, he was using all energies to topple her party’s government. He said that the double-faced attitude of the PML-N’s leadership could not deceive the masses at large and former PM and PPP founder Zulfikar Ali Bhutto’s philosophy would lead the PPP to victory in the next general elections.
PPP Punjab Finance Secretary Aurangzeb Burki, reacting on Nawaz’s remarks, said that the PML-N president’s policy of destabilising the federal government was a sheer violation of his agreement with Benazir in shape of the Charter of Democracy (CoD). Burki said that the PPP was confronting the mindset, which led to assassination of Benazir and also battling against “terrorists’ factories”, which were operational in the country.
PPP leader Chaudhry Ghulam Abbas said that Nawaz was trying to gain emotional sympathy from Sindhis by talking about Benazir’s killers. He said that people knew Nawaz’s very well role and could not be deceived.
