Published January 23, 2007

HARIPUR, Jan 22: People’s Party Parliamentarians district president Dr Faiza Rasheed has said that the days of dictatorship are numbered and the era of people's prosperity and real democracy, under the leadership of Benazir Bhutto, is about to dawn.

The PPP Parliamentarian would form the next government with overwhelming majority, claimed Dr Faiza while addressing a news conference at her residence here on Monday.

Party’s federal council member Mukhtar Ahmed Gujjar, Syed Azam Shah and Daud Awan, Aurangzeb Mughal were present on the occasion.

The PPP Parliamentarians would emerge as the largest parliamentary party not only at the federal level but also in all the four provinces as well, she said, adding that the antagonistic forces would have to succumb to people's mandate .

She said that price hike, unemployment, lawlessness and undemocratic rule had brought people nothing but miseries.

“People are forced to commit suicides under economic stress but rulers are befooling the nation with hollow slogans of economic turnaround,” she said.

Dr Fauzia said that the PPP Parliamentarians did not believe in the rule of bullet and always struggled for change through ballot. The party would ensure the same in future, she said.

Dr Faiza, who was recently elevated to the office of district president of the party, said that membership drive for the party was in progress and the peripheries of the district were being focused upon for the membership which had increased manifold.
