MURREE, Oct 18: Soon after the arrival of Benazir Bhutto in Karachi on Thursday, a large number of the PPP workers started dancing in jubilation here on Mall Road. Sweets were also distributed among the poor.

When the workers heard the news of the landing of the plane they offered prayers to thank Allah almighty.

Addressing on the occasion local leaders said the reception had proved that Pakistan people’s party was still the largest political party of the country which was the custodian of the federation of Pakistan.

They said that Benazir Bhutto was the symbol of democracy and capable of brining democracy in the country through negotiation with the Military regime.

Nazir Abbasi advocate president PPP Murree, Khalid Abbasi advocate president PYO Murree, Raja Asad Satti President PYO Kotli Sattiyan and others spoke on the occasion.
