ISLAMABAD: Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Rawalpindi chapter on Sunday chalked out plan to welcome the long march to be led by party chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari.

Speaking at a meeting, PPP Secretary General Syed Nayyar Hussain Bukhari said that before the long march of the chairman to Islamabad, the “bad language brigade” will vanish.

He said: “We would save parliament from those who attacked it from inside and outside through a no-confidence motion.”

He said that the prime minister, who was causing trouble to the masses, will soon give relief to the elite through the expansion of the cabinet. He said unemployment had risen to a record high and the prices of edibles increased manifold.

The PPP’s long march to Islamabad is necessary as people want to get rid of the incompetent government. He said people were ready to give a rosy welcome to the long march participants.
