Whither PPP?

Published September 15, 2014

AS a supporter of the PPP, I would like to place some of my reservations in front of the party chairman, Bilawal-Bhutto Zardari. We all are very well acquainted with the fact that it is sometimes very difficult to continue with the same legacy that we receive from our ancestors: this is the case here with our chairman.

Why is Bilawal not able to understand that ZAB had launched the party as a national entity that is a real representative of the aspirations of the poor. But our hearts ache when we see the party wiped off from Punjab, KP and Balochistan and all the more when we see it as a mere representative of Sindh.

Our chairman hasn’t taken the trouble to visit other provinces and address party followers in order to refresh their zeal and strength.

On an important note, the sort of opposition the PPP has formed in parliament presents a gloomy and bleak picture. PPP supporters want their young chairman to address such questions.
