LAHORE, April 4: The cases against PPP chairperson Ms Benazir Bhutto and her husband will be withdrawn soon, claims party’s former secretary-general Chaudhry Ahmad Mukhtar.

Talking to Dawn on Wednesday, he said winding up of the special operation division of NAB in Lahore manifested that the government had accepted the cases against the former prime minister and her spouse were baseless.

Once the cases were withdrawn, he said, doors would be open for the exiled leaders to return to Pakistan and take part in the electoral process.

He said the withdrawal of cases would also mean that the government and the PPP were willing to tolerate each other.

Mr Mukhtar said the present assemblies were on their way out and could be dissolved any time.

He said the PPP being the biggest party of the country would sweep the next polls.
