PPP leaders criticise 'political orphan's' meeting with Nawaz Sharif

The leaders allege that Sharif is seeking political entry into Sindh through “nonentities” like Bhutto.

KARACHI: A Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) leader and senior minister for education and literacy, Pir Mazharul Haq on Monday criticised the meeting between Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) President Nawaz Sharif and chairman of Sindh National Front (SNF) Mumtaz Ali Bhutto.

Haq, along with Agha Siraj Durrani, Muhammad Ayaz Soomro, Syed Murad Ali Shah and Shazia Marri held a joint press conference in the committee room of Sindh Assembly.

Terming Bhutto a “political orphan,” the PPP leaders claimed that he could not even win a union council election. They further said that Bhutto was hatching conspiracies against Sindh but the people of Sindh would reject him.

They also alleged that Sharif was seeking political entry into Sindh through “non-entities” like Bhutto.

Expressing hope for votes in the next elections, they said that the ruling PPP government has served the people of Sindh and provided them with jobs and other facilities.

The leaders said that the government would continue with its policy of political reconciliation and take all coalition partners on board for every important decision.
