KARACHI: Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Sindh chapter president Nisar Ahmed Khuhro has asked party workers to make full preparations for the 2018 general elections to make it a victory day of ‘arrow’ across the country to install Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari as prime minister.

Addressing the party workers, who converged at his house and the Peoples Secretariat on Friday to greet him on assuming the slot of Sindh PPP president, he said Karachi was not a fiefdom of anyone and the recent rally had proved that Karachiites were also with the party. There was a need to go door to door to strengthen the party organisation, he added.

He said the politics of prejudice and terrorism had brought enough devastation to Karachi, but now no one would be allowed to disrupt the peace of the city.

Without naming the MQM, the PPP leader said loyalists leaders of the Muttahida were exposing each other and those who used to talk to divide Sindh themselves stood disintegrated. “I want to tell them that Sindh is one and will remain one. We will not tolerate a single word against it,” he said.

He said the PPP neither believed in drawing room politics nor took any decision behind the doors; its doors were open for all.

Referring to the politics of Nawaz Sharif and Imran Khan, Mr Khohru said: “Both are standing in the closed tunnel. Imran has proved himself a friend of Modi by boycotting the parliament session while failed policies of Nawaz have tarnished the image of Pakistan in the world, but now they could not hoodwink people any more.”

Advising the PML-N, he said that if its failed to accept the four demands of the PPP, Nawaz Sharif would have no way out after Dec 27 from the tunnel as his failed policies were tarnishing the image of Pakistan and Panama leaks issue had raised a question mark on his office.

He said Nwaz Sharif should present himself for accountability as the PPP would not allow him to runaway from it.
