KARACHI, July 28: Sindh Chief Minister Dr Arbab Ghulam Rahim on Friday said that President Pervez Musharraf wanted real progress in Sindh and sincerely desired that fruits of development should trickle down to the people at grass-roots level.

The president, he said, had saved Pakistan’s sinking economy from utter destruction and led it to the path of progress and it was for this very reason that Pakistan needed his leadership.

He was talking to PML delegations from Hyderabad, Kashmore, Umerkot and Nawabshah districts, who called on him here at the Chief Minister House.

He called upon the party workers to enthusiastically take part in the elections, launch a contact campaign in their respective areas and make the ongoing membership drive a success.

The PML, he said, existed in the province as a functional and organised party and had improved its public credibility with its performance and achieved a historic win in the last local bodies elections.

The people, the chief minister said, were fed up with hollow slogans. He said that it was time for prctical work and success could only be achieved by solving people’s problems.

Presidents and general secretaries of the four districts, provincial minister and general secretary of the party’s Sindh chapter Nadir Akmal Leghari, additional general secretary Senator Abdul Ghaffar Qureshi also attended the meeting.—APP
