SUKKUR: Former Sindh chief minister and veteran leader of Pakistan Peoples Party Syed Qaim Ali Shah said on Friday that he believed 100,000 to 150,000 people would participate in the public meeting to be held in Sukkur on Nov 30 to mark the party’s foundation day.

He told journalists after a meeting held to review arrangements for the public meeting at the residence of PPP’s central leader Syed Khursheed Ahmed Shah that PPP chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari and co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari had decided to hold this year’s foundation day programme in Sukkur instead of Larkana.

He said the venue for the public meeting would be announced later after inspecting proposed sites. PPP stuck to the ideology of Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, which had made it into a strong party of Sindh, he said. PPP Sindh president Nisar Ahmed Khuhro, provincial minister Syed Nasir Hussain Shah, special assistant to chief minister Syed Waqar Mehdi, Mir Aijaz Hussain Jakhrani, MPA Awais Qadir Shah, Haji Anwar Khan Mahar and others also attended the meeting.
