LARKANA: Instead of trading allegations, the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) leadership should come up with concrete explanation regarding serious corruption charges levelled against them.

This was stated by Pakistan Peoples Party-Workers (PPP-W) president Dr Safdar Abbasi while talking to reporters at Larkana Press Club on Wednesday. They [PPP leaders] should clarify money laundering and a host of other allegations, he added.

Criticising the PPP, he asked could it name any of the cities and towns where people were drinking hygienic water, adding that subsoil water almost in entire Sindh had turned highly brackish and contaminated. This was all due to the bad governance of the PPP, he said.

Advocating the accountability of Asif Ali Zardari and his sister Faryal Talpur, he said the PPP was not being politically victimised.

He said it were only the PPP leadership that could answer where it had spent Rs2,000 billion in the name of carrying out development. He said that cities had been turned into ruins.

He said that hardly a handful of party workers were seen in the PPP and PML-N protests.

He said Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari should seriously think over his defeat from Malakand and Lyari in elections. People were well aware that how Bilawal had won from Larkana, he added.
