PPP stages ‘Pakistan Khappay’ rally

Party leaders denounce Imran's controversial statements against country

KARACHI:

Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP)  leaders while reacting to  Imran Khan's statement that  Pakistan could split into three parts, said that not the country but Imran Khan's politics will be torn to pieces.

Imran Khan Niazi attacked national integrity for his personal goals, speakers said at the Pakistan Khappey (We want Pakistan) rally staged to denounce the PTI chief's controversial statement.

The phrase Pakistan  Khappay was made famous by Asif Ali Zardari when he said it in reply to chants of  Pakistan Na Khappay (We don't want Pakistan) at the burial of Benazir Bhutto following her assassination in  December 2006.

Peoples Youth Organization and PPP Women Wing  Karachi Division organised the joint rally from Peoples  Secretariat to Empress Market on Sunday.

PPP has always spoken of democracy and the country.

Asif Ali Zardari strengthened the defence of Pakistan by raising the slogan of Pakistan  Khappay, said PPP Karachi  Division General Secretary  Javed Naguri.

PPP Karachi Women  Wing President Dr Shahida  Rahmani, MPA Sharmila  Farooqi, PPP Karachi Deputy  Information Secretary Asif  Khan led the Pakistan  Khappay rally staged on the appeal of PPP Co-Chairman  Asif Ali Zardari.

Apart from women and youth, a large number of leaders of the PPP Karachi  Division, Women's Wing, and Youth Wing participated in the rally which resounded with Khappay Khappay  Pakistan.

Addressing the rally, Naguri said that Imran Khan is loyal to his own personality and his vision surrounds about his own personality.

MNA Dr Shahida Rahmani said that Imran Niazi should apologise for his statement regarding the likelihood that the country might dismember.

She added said that no  Pakistani can talk of tearing country apart yet Imran Niazi is speaking the language of enemies.

Asif Khan said that the democratic history of  Pakistan has been written with the blood of PPP leaders and workers.

Benazir Bhutto came to Pakistan despite threats and dangers for the sake of the country, nation  and democracy.

 He added said that the fierce wave of hatred over her martyrdom which could have been a threat to our national security was extinguished thanks to one of Asif Zardari's slogans "Pakistan Khhapay".

 President of People's Youth  Karachi Rashid Khazkheli said that Imran Khan was attacking the integrity of the country by talking of dividing the country into three parts.

  People's Youth will not allow the country's integrity to be jeopardised; he added.

 MPA Sharmila Farooqi said  Imran Niazi posed a serious threat to the national security,  independence and stability of the country.
