ISLAMABAD, Aug 9: Vice-Chairman of the PPP and Chairman ARD Makhdoom Amin has demanded withdrawal of all politically motivated cases against the party chairperson, Benazir Bhutto, and other leaders and holding of free and fair elections in which all leaders and parties are allowed to participate.

In a statement on Tuesday, he said the crisis engulfing the country had deepened which could only be resolved by seeking the mandate of the people and allowing the genuine exiled political leaders to return to the country to lead the nation out of crisis and despondency.

“The PPP demands that the political issues including reversion to the Constitution, end of militarisation and withdrawal of fake and fabricated cases instituted to re-engineer Pakistan’s political landscape be addressed seriously if the country is to be extricated out of the morass.”

He said the regime withdrew cases against the parasitical political class, the MMA leaders in Balochistan and Frontier and also against the MQM leaders to achieve its agenda of political re-engineering.
