KARACHI: Pakistan Peoples Party chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari has claimed that the PPP is going to register a great victory in the next general elections, which may be a surprise to those who have always predicted doom for the party.

Aseefa Bhutto-Zardari was also present.

Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari urged the party workers to focus on the next general elections and that the entire party should work under an integrated strategy.
