KHAIRPUR, Oct 16: Former district Nazim Khairpur Ms Nafisa Shah has said that the return of PPP Chairperson Benazir Bhutto would fill the political vacuum in the country and the entire political scenario would be changed.

She said that the late Jagirani rendered valueless services to the party cause in taluka Kingri despite political pressure.

Nafisa Shah will return with Ms Bhutto to country on Thursday.
