Zulfiqar Mirza will always be a part of PPP: Sharjeel Memon

Memon said all PPP members are united under the leadership of President Zardari and trust his leadership.

KARACHI:
Sindh Information Minister Sharjeel Memon said on Friday that Zulfiqar Mirza will always be a part of Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) and everyone in the party trusts the leadership of Asif Ali Zardari.

Speaking to the media at the Karachi Airport, he said all PPP members are united under the leadership of President Zardari and those who talk about a forward bloc in PPP are unaware of the realities.

Memon slammed Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) chief Nawaz Sharif for his dream of dissolving the Government.

He said Nawaz Sharif should wait for his turn as PPP will complete its term.

Earlier it was reported that Chief Minister Sindh Qaim Ali Shah was angry with a few ministers of his cabinet. They included Information Minister Sharjeel Inam Memon, Minister for Excise and Taxation Mukesh Kumar Chawla and Minister for Jails Sadiq Ali Memon.

Sharjeel Inam Memon and Sadiq Memon were said to have explained their positions but Mukesh Chawla kept silent.


“Mirza is our best friend and we had no political agenda when we met him,” Sharjeel Inam Memon is reported to have said to the CM. “It was a personal meeting and we cannot give up our relations with him because he is so kind to us.”

According to sources, Pir Mazharul Haq had retorted that Mirza has always created problems for the party and his meetings with PPP ministers and party members gave the impression that he was creating a forward bloc.

Mirza refuses to play nice

With a meeting of Sindh PPP parliamentarians underway at the CM House, a troupe of 24 MNAs and MPAs made their way to the DHA residence of Zulfiqar Mirza in order to persuade him to join the crucial meeting.

However, the former MPA resisted their overtures and refused to accompany them to the meeting.
