PPP vows to oust military rulers

Published September 28, 2002

QUETTA, Sept 27: The chairman of the People’s Party Parliamentarian (PPP), Mukhdoom Amin Fahim, has said his party will fulfil its commitment to restore democracy in the country and will not compromise the rights of the people.

Speaking at a public meeting in connection with the party’s election campaign at the Ayub Stadium here on Friday, he announced that the PPP would bring Benazir Bhutto back to the country and nobody could stop her from becoming the country’s prime minister for the third time.

“There will be a direct fight on October 10 between killers of (Zulfikar Ali) Bhutto and supporters of PPP,” Mr Fahim said, adding that the people would vote for the party to bring it once again in power.

He said the PPP had rendered great sacrifices for ousting all the military rulers from power and would continue its struggle for the removal of the present rulers.

The PPP leader said the government had given unemployment and price-hike to the people, who, he added, were facing great hardships.

He claimed that his party would win the October polls, as the people would give their decision in favour of the PPP that had always served them with honesty. He appealed to the people to vote for PPP candidates in Quetta and other parts of Balochistan.

Other party leaders, including Nafis Ahmed Saddique, Jamal Khan Jogezai, Javed Ahmed, Nawabzada Lashkari Raisani also spoke.

Tribal elder and former provincial minister Nawabzada Lashkri Khan Raisani joined the PPP.
