The Pak Sarzameen Party (PSP) Vice Chairman Dr Arshad Abdullah Vohra on Friday said that Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) is pressurising PSP workers through Sindh Police to change their loyalties forcefully.

The PSP members are being implicated in fake cases and nominated in FIRs to pressurise them in to leaving PSP and joining PPP, Vohra said addressing an emergency press conference outside Godhra Community Hospital in Godhra Camp.

Elaborating on the incident, PSP Secretary General Advocate Hassan Sabir said that there was a movement against gutka sellers in the Godhra Camp area under PSP. A PSP activist Faisal was leading the drive.

They were going on a Pakistan tour, and had train tickets too, the PSP general secretary said adding that the young activists were framed in arms and explosives recovery case.
