The Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Sindh chapter restored on Saturday the membership of all party office-bearers, who were suspended or terminated for their affiliation with former home minister Dr Zulfiqar Mirza.
They included former district nazim of Badin and PPP’s former district general secretary Kamal Chang.
A day earlier, the party had also withdrawn the suspension orders of its MPA Imdad Pitafi.
Sindh Chief Minister Qaim Ali Shah, who is also the provincial president of the party, had suspended Pitafi’s membership for accompanying Mirza on the latter’s flight to London.
According to sources, the reason for the PPP’s sudden change of mind was the fear that these people could have joined the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) as members or allies.
There were reports that the PTI leadership in London is in contact with Dr Mirza to convince him into joining the party.
