KARACHI, Nov 5: The Labour Party of Pakistan on Monday parted ways with the Alliance for Restoration of Democracy.

The LPP leaders said, the ARD in its summit meeting held in Lahore on Sept 14-15 had taken certain decisions with regard to gearing up a struggle for the revival of democracy, but none of the decision had been implemented.—PPI
