Khar says he won’t quit PPP

Published August 27, 2007

MUZAFFARGARH, Aug 26: Former Punjab governor Malik Ghulam Mustafa Khar has said he will not join the PML-N or any other party.

Talking to Dawn here on Sunday, Mr Khar said that he was a senior PPP member and the pupil of Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto. He said the junior party leader should learn manners how to deal with senior party leaders.

The former governor said he could not leave the party and the Bhutto family because he had a long association with them.

Mr Khar said the leaders who claimed to have expelled him from the PPP were infants when he was working with Mr Bhutto.

He said a senior most party member called for explanation and then issued a show-cause notice if any senior member was to be expelled from the party.

He said he would give explanation only to Ms Benazir Bhutto. — Correspondent
