PPP leadership in K-P vows to organise party

Say will uphold the philosophy of their leader

PESHAWAR: The 90th birth anniversary of the founder of Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Zulfikar Ali Bhutto was celebrated in the city on Friday.

Workers and PPP leaders cut the cake and prayed for the peace of the soul of the late Bhutto. On this occasion, once again, PPP provincial leadership made pledges to organise the party and revive its lost popularity before the 2018 general elections.

The party’s leadership at district and city levels, including the women wing has also organised different events to celebrate Bhutto’s birthday and pay tribute to his services for the country.

The main ceremony was held on Ring Road where the party’s provincial president Engineer Humayun Khan, divisional president Liaqat Shahab and other supporters gathered to pay homage to Bhutto.

It is a day of getting rights for the oppressed people of the country, PPP leaders said. Bhutto’s legacy teaches to bear the difficulties and fight for the rights and well-being of the people.

Bhutto scarificed his life but didn’t bow down to dictators, and undemocratic forces and pledged that PPP will never compromise on Bhutto’s philosophy.

They said that it was his charismatic leadership that brought out Pakistan from problems in a very short time and made it an atomic power. They added that situation of the country would have been different now, if he was left to serve the country.
