PPP leader and advisor to CM Sindh Maula Baksh Chandio said we want to let people know that the foundation of CPEC project was laid by Asif Ali Zardari.

He professed that the hard work in this regard was done by one person and the inauguration by someone else.

On the occasion, CM Sindh Murad Ali Shah also briefed the meeting about his recent visit to China and different projects under the CPEC.

The PPP leader Manzoor Wassan predicted that 2017 would be a different year and it is also possible that some decisions are made that could prove shocking to other political parties.

The PPP leaders revealed that if all the opposition parties unite in Panamagate case, the government can give in easily in this regard.
