If the PPP wants to have an event to observe the death anniversary, let the party pay for it from their own pockets
KARACHI: The Sindh government announced a public holiday across the province, on April 4, to mark the 37th death anniversary of Pakistan People’s Party founder Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, a former prime minister of Pakistan. The Sindh government released Rs25 million to cover the expenditure for the event of the PPP founder. Using taxpayers’ money for hosting a party event is shameful for any political party. It is a waste of funds and its use cannot be justified for anniversaries, especially when the poor people of Sindh and their children barely manage to survive. If the PPP wants to have an event to observe the death anniversary, let the party pay for it from their own pockets.
