LAHORE: The PPP Punjab has made arrangements to welcome its chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari.

“The chairman is arriving here later this week for a week-long visit,” Punjab PPP President Manzoor Wattoo said in a statement here on Thursday.

He said the chairman would preside over meetings of PPP office-bearers of districts of south and central Punjab.

He said the central and provincial executive councils of the PPP would also meet the chairman at the Bilawal House, Lahore.

Wattoo further said Bilawal would also address a Kissan convention at the Bilawal House.

“The PPP will use the forum to express solidarity with the farmers community that has been subjected to extreme hardships due to anti-farmers policies of the PML-N government,” he said.

He said the chairman’s meeting with the representatives of labour unions, old idealogues and allied wings had also been scheduled.
