PESHAWAR: Pakistan Peoples Party has announced membership drive to reorganise its sister organisations across Khyber Pakhtunkhwa by replacing the inactive office-bearers.

The decision was taken in a meeting in Peshawar on Sunday where the participants said that the membership drive would be launched soon.

Party’s provincial president Mohammad Humayun Khan told a gathering of Peoples Teachers Forum that all the divisional and district level office-bearers had already been directed to start preparations for reactivation of disgruntled workers and pinpointing those who had violated the party’s discipline in the last general and local government elections.

Party’s provincial vice-president Syed Ayub Shah and other leaders also shared views about significance of the sister organizations and gave suggestions for the reorganization process.

The meeting decided that workers conventions would be organised at different levels where participation of the provincial leaders would be made compulsory to announce names of the office-bearers on need basis and redress the workers’ grievances.
