KARACHI:
Vice President of PPP’s Punjab chapter, Raja Riaz, has claimed that predicting the party’s downfall on the basis of a couple of defects is injustice to hundreds of its office-bearers.
He spoke on a press conference in Karachi on Sunday after meeting Bilawal, during which PPP’s affairs in Punjab were discussed.
Mr Riaz said the PPP was still a large party in Punjab.
“As far as defection of a few leaders is concerned, even during the eras of Zulfikar Ali Bhutto and Benazir Bhutto, people like Ghulam Mustafa Khar had quit the party because they had vested interests and were not ready to face hard times. But it did not cast any negative impact on the party’s popularity,” he said.
