He directed the provincial president Mian Manzoor Ahmad Wattoo to maintain close liaison with the party workers in every nook and corner of Punjab and use the occasion of district wise conventions to explain to the workers the party policies, listen to their concerns and address their grievances.
A spokesperson for the former president, Senator Farhatullah Babar, said that Zardari was keen to revitalise the party at the grass root level throughout the country and the holding of conventions at district level was the first step in this direction.
The former president said that holding of conventions at district level was a consensus demand of the workers that emerged on the eve of PPP’s founding day convention held in Lahore recently.
“I also call upon all the workers to participate in these district level conventions and, in keeping with the traditions of the party, express your views candidly on all issues be that of local or national importance or about organisational matters,” he said.
Zardari said he was confident party office bearers and workers will make full use of the opportunity for a robust and lively debate on issues of concern to the party, the people and the nation.
He also directed Wattoo to complete all party organisations up to the level of union council. “Completion of party organisations up to the level of union council is also of utmost importance and must be undertaken at the earliest,” he said in his directive to the provincial president.
The former president also asked for regular submission of reports of the conventions to him.
