LAHORE, Jan 10: PPP Federal Council secretary-general Khalid Kharal says Ms Benazir Bhutto has set up a four-member committee to activate the party. The committee, he said at a news conference, comprised himself, Ghulam Mustafa Khar, Jehangir Badr and Qasim Zia.

He said the committee would hold a workers convention in Multan on Jan 19 after which a campaign for contact with workers would be launched.

He said Khar was among the leaders who had founded the PPP, and thus a controversy about his membership should come to an end after Ms Bhutto’s decision to include him in the committee.

Munir Khan, Mushtaq Awan and Tahir Khaleeq were also present at the news conference.—Staff Reporter
