Workers and jiyalas from all over Pakistan, will attend the 10th death anniversary of Shaheed Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto at Garhi Khuda Bux, Larkana on December 27, he said.



In a meeting held on Monday at Bilawal House, PPP leaders from Sindh briefed the party chairperson on the arrangements being made by the party for the 10th death anniversary at Benazir's mausoleum.
Bilawal said that the party has to make additional and expanded arrangements on the occasion so that people coming from every nook and corner of the country face no difficulty during their political pilgrimage to the last resting place of their leader.

The PPP chairperson said that the growing popularity of the party and its recent successful public meetings have frustrated their opponents. He said that PPP was the only national-level party with roots across the country, while the rest of the parties are either regional or bubble parties.
