HYDERABAD: Pakistan Peoples Party-Parliamentarians information secretary Maula Bux Chandio has said that after his disqualification by Supreme Court former premier Mian Nawaz Sharif is bent upon becoming a victim at any cost.
PPP chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari had advised him to make an honourable exit but he did not heed the advice. “Mian Sahib! Your show is over and you have been defeated,” Mr Chandio said at a programme held to mark the 50th foundation day of PPP at Hyderabad district council on Thursday.
“Mr Sharif has all but died politically because he is in a coma. Now there will be sustainable democracy and none will dare contest PPP,” he said, adding that his party would win majority seats in all provinces.
He said that there was no future for PML-N. Shahid Khaqan Abbasi should consider himself as premier and serve people, he said.
About the formation of anti-PPP Grand Democratic Alliance, he said that when elections were approaching, an alliance was formed to hurl abuses at PPP.
He said that whoever had tried to eliminate PPP had been eradicated himself while Bhuttos and PPP still lived in people’s hearts. The federal government heaved a sigh of relief when Tehreek-i-Labbaik Ya Rasool Allah called off the protest after intervention of the army. If the army had not intervened, the sit-in would have spiralled into a big carnage in Islamabad, he said.
PPP Senator Abdul Latif Ansari said that the party was struggling for development and prosperity of the poor and the needy for 50 years and they would continue to pursue these goals until they were successful.
PPP Hyderabad leaders Sagheer Qureshi, Pasha Qazi, Lal Bux Kalhoro, Haider Shahani and others also spoke.
